Is the colored shrimp slices bought in the supermarket poisonous?

The colored shrimp slices bought in the supermarket are not poisonous.

Shrimp slices are made of shrimp juice and starch, and the color is colored by adding food pigments, that is, food additives. Eating a small amount of shrimp slices containing food additives will not endanger human health.

Colored shrimp slices are crisp and deeply loved by children. However, fried shrimp slices are fried foods with high calories, edible synthetic pigments and little nutrition. Eating a small amount is harmless to the human body. If you eat too much, it will be difficult to digest, which will increase the burden on the stomach and make you fat.
