The thickener in jelly is a safe food additive.

　　Jelly is a jelly food made of water, sugar and other main raw materials, supplemented by food additives such as thickener (carrageenan, etc.), with or without konjac powder, fruit and vegetable products, milk and dairy products, nutritional fortifier and other raw materials, and processed by sol, blending, filling, sterilization and cooling.

　　Thickeners can improve the viscosity of food or form gel, giving jelly a unique taste. Thickeners commonly used in jelly production include carrageenan and konjac powder, all of which are natural polysaccharides. Therefore, the rational use of thickener in jelly according to relevant standards is not only safe, but also has the functions of improving intestinal microecology and relaxing bowels. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the safety of thickener for jelly with guaranteed quality.

　　According to the national standard "Jelly" (GB19883-2005), according to different raw materials, jellies can be divided into fruit-flavored jellies, juice-based jellies, pulp-based jellies, milk-containing jellies and other jellies. Among them, fruit-flavored jelly and other jellies are not required to add fruit, but most jelly products on the market at present are more or less added with pulp (juice).
