With many unknowns and on-and-off lockdowns, 2022 will likely remain an extremely volatile year. The Chinese government has taken numerous initiatives to advance its food safety regulations and its long-term aim to create a "Healthy China," despite the fact that the pandemic still obscures the ability to predict future. With time, we have seen the nation update its food standards and measures, mandate the registration of nearly all foreign businesses who export food to China, and send out strong signals in favor of the advancement of novel food technologies.

While summer is a wonderful time to consume seasonal, fresh produce, it is also the time of year when food poisoning is most likely to occur since bacteria tend to reproduce more quickly. The heat may ruin all the wonderful food items and cause them to go wrong. The choice between a healthy gut and lackadaisical digestion can be made by the consumption of food that is treated with proper preservatives. 

These substances may be organic or synthetic. Preservatives perform significant functions in many products that people use daily, such as by aiding in the prevention of the growth of harmful microorganisms and safeguarding products from spoiling or contamination. 

They are included in many food products to prevent spoiling brought on by bacteria, molds, fungus, and yeast. Food's shelf life can be increased by adding preservatives to keep it fresher for extended periods of time. Additionally, color, flavor, and texture alterations, as well as the delay of rancidity, can be all addressed by the food preservatives. 

ChemAnalyst predicts that through the end of quarter 2, the prices for food additives and preservatives such as Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Malic Acid, Sodium Propionate, Calcium Propionate, and others in China would likely remain high. The end-user food and beverage industries' rising demand, particularly in light of the ongoing summer season, where manufacturers place a high focus on extending product shelf lives while maintaining product quality, strongly supports this price trend.
