Chinese-made bread products that you can easily spot even at E-Mart.
Honestly, considering all the foreign snacks that come in, this wouldn't even be a big deal...
But the problem is:
Chinese bread products use a preservative called potassium sorbate to lower the pH level and suppress mold growth.
However, potassium sorbate is listed in the Food Additives Code as an ingredient requiring careful use,
meaning its exact usage and dosage are strictly defined.
And in Korea, potassium sorbate is a banned additive in bakery/confectionery goods.
Fr.
+ Potassium sorbate isn't some super villain preservative; it's about the level of sodium hypochlorite (bleach) that can be consumed if diluted properly. It's useful if you follow the usage rules, and it is used as a food additive in our country too, but still, it's banned for addition in bread products.
"Mandatory food safety checks are definitely running on hard mode, but honestly, who needs quality when you can have rich and savory potassium sorbate?"
