Popular questions
  1. Is sodium benzoate bad for you?

    Generally no—it's an approved preservative with an acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0–5 mg/kg body weight, and typical intakes are well below this. Rare sensitivities (e.g., hives/asthma-like symptoms) can occur, and in vitamin C–containing drinks exposed to heat/light it can form trace benzene, which manufacturers work to minimize.

  2. Is sodium benzoate safe?

    Yes—it's authorized by regulators (e.g., FDA, EFSA, JECFA) with an ADI of 0–5 mg/kg body weight and is GRAS in foods up to 0.1%. Those with sensitivities may wish to limit it, and beverages containing both sodium benzoate and ascorbic acid should be protected from heat/light to prevent benzene formation.

  3. Is sodium benzoate safe for skin?

    Yes—it's widely used as a cosmetic preservative at low concentrations and is considered safe by regulatory and review bodies. It may occasionally cause mild irritation or sensitization, especially on very sensitive or damaged skin.

  4. Is sodium benzoate bad for hair?

    No—at the low levels used to preserve shampoos and conditioners it does not damage hair fibers. As with many preservatives, higher concentrations can irritate the scalp, but consumer products use small amounts.

  5. Is sodium benzoate harmful?

    Not at permitted food and cosmetic levels; safety limits (e.g., ADI 0–5 mg/kg body weight) are set to prevent harm. Main concerns are rare intolerance reactions and trace benzene formation in vitamin C–containing drinks under heat/light, which industry monitors and minimizes.

  1. Cse e231 how to get to?

    E231 is orthophenyl phenol, a synthetic preservative used mainly to prevent mold on the surface of citrus fruits; it’s not a place or device. It isn’t permitted as a food additive in the EU, though residues may occur from post‑harvest treatments.

  2. Elitedisplat e231 why resolutin only 640 480?

    E231 refers to orthophenyl phenol, a food preservative—not a monitor—used to inhibit mold on citrus peels. It is not approved as a food additive in the EU but is used as a post‑harvest fungicide in some countries under residue limits.

  3. Elitedisplay e231 why resolution only 640x480?

    E231 denotes orthophenyl phenol, a synthetic preservative used on citrus peel; it isn’t related to display settings. It’s generally not authorized as a food additive in the EU, though regulated post‑harvest uses exist elsewhere.

  4. How do i connect my dvd player to my vizio e231-b1?

    E231 here is a food additive code for orthophenyl phenol, a preservative used mainly on citrus peel; in the U.S. it’s allowed as a post‑harvest fungicide with residue limits. Washing or peeling citrus reduces any surface residues.

  5. How do i get the hp elitedisplay e231 back in the box?

    E231 is orthophenyl phenol, a synthetic preservative rather than a monitor model; it prevents mold on citrus surfaces. It’s not permitted as a food additive in the EU, but post‑harvest uses with residue controls exist in some countries.
