Use of Formalin and Other Additives in Foods

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food


has been serious problem for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is
not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens 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
preservatives. Of course when it is used for food preservative, it
will be very dangerous to human’s body.

The second reason is that there is no tight control from the


government. This condition makes the people’s health is really
in a threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin was
spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it
has really happened, the citizen's bodies will be badly
contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell
their products which contain formalin and dangerous
preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system
absorbs the substance that should be for the human and
animal corpses?
