Use of Formalin and Other Additives in Foods
The use of formalin and other dangerous preser- vatives in food has been a serious for two reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimen and experiments. Formalin in biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preser- vative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.
The second reason is that there is not tight con- trol from the government. This condition makes the people’s health is really in a threat. When the con- trol is weak and the use of formalin is spread wide
all over the Indonesia regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizens bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their product which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our degistive system absorbs the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can makes a conclu- sion that the use of formalin and other preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved imme- diately.
