Knowledge of additives needed

Hotlines to report illegal food additives can only be useful if the public has the basic knowledge of additives, says an article in Wuhan Evening News. The following is an excerpt:

According to the website of the Ministry of Health, the national hotline to report illegal food addictives has recently been set up for the public in the wake of the toxic milk powder scandal.

The scandal has taught people a lesson that melamine is used by dairy producers as a type of additive and that it's better for them to carefully read the ingredients on a packet before buying it.
