Why does Boda salt-free noodles turn red when sliced below?

It may be caused by deterioration of noodles or additives.

Noodles turn red for two reasons:

1. The additive pigment exceeds the standard: there is excessive whitening agent in the flour itself, which produces benzoic acid in the process of fresh noodles, which is further oxidized into phenolic substances in the air, so it is red;

2. Deterioration: Due to the high water content of wet noodles, the flour itself is infected by miscellaneous bacteria, which pollutes the surrounding environment of noodles, so that there are miscellaneous bacteria on the surface of noodles, bacteria grow and reproduce, and the excrement of some strains is red.
