How to correctly choose a sweet gift for a child and which additives to avoid

On the eve of the New Year holidays, doctors give advice on how to choose a safe and high-quality sweet gift for a child. Diana Lavrysyuk, Head of the Department of Children and Adolescents Hygiene, explained to Minsk-Novosti what to pay attention to.

What to put in the gift

For the New Year's set, experts recommend including chocolate (milk and dark), waffles, gingerbread, jelly candies and soft toffee, as well as pastila and zephyr.

It is not recommended to put butter cream pastries and other perishable desserts in the gift.

There are also separate requirements for toys in the sets: they must be packed in separate wrappers intended for contact with food.

What should be alarming

When choosing, preference should be given to sets that have a minimum of food additives, preservatives, hydrogenated fats and oils (trans fats).

Experts do not recommend that sweets contain:

alcohol (more than 0.5% ethanol);

flavor and aroma enhancers;

preservatives (E200, E202, E210, E249);

synthetic colorings and flavorings;

hydrogenated oils and fats;

natural coffee.

The content of natural colorings and flavorings is allowed.

Rules for selection

First of all, you need to pay attention to the integrity of the packaging and the presence of labeling, which should contain information about the name, composition, quantity, production date, and expiration date. The latter is determined by the most perishable product in the set. Sweets should be stored at a temperature of +15… +17 °С.

If there are doubts about the quality of the product, the buyer has the right to demand from the seller documents confirming the safety of the goods.

Healthy alternatives

Confectionery products are harmful to children due to their high sugar content, which can lead to tooth decay, obesity, digestive problems, and hyperactivity. Instead of traditional candies, it is recommended to choose healthier alternatives:

fresh fruits and berries;

dried fruits, nuts;

homemade marmalade, pastila, and zephyr;

a small amount of dark chocolate.

    Кружку какавы сварите дитяти… Или гематогену малую толику погрызть.
    Можно ишо на пасеку свозить ненадолго,и будет с него.
    Деды вековали,а ныне смотри-кася : паки отрок и нагих бап возжелает пошшупать,шоколад-то ить разжигает вожделение.
