丞燕本著「追求完美」的原則，將卓越完美貫徹於生產始末。為了確保每件產品的天然完美，丞燕不添加起雲劑、阿拉伯膠、乳化劑、棕櫚油等食品添加劑，更不含三聚氰胺、DEHP塑化劑等，可安心食用。

近日，臺灣首次爆發塑化劑DEHP污染飲料食品案，下架回收及封存的疑似問題產品種類繁多。據報導至5月24日，臺灣已回收或下架的食品包括近46萬瓶運動飲料、果汁、茶飲，及2萬公斤果汁、果醬、優格粉，13萬餘盒益生菌粉，臺灣衛生署已表示，預計問題產品數量會再大幅攀升。而隨著貨物的流通，臺灣的塑化劑產品亦已流向東南亞、香港以及上海等地。

DEHP為塑膠製品常用的一種塑化劑，無色、無味。DEHP在高劑量時會影響大鼠的生育系統與提高發生肝臟腫瘤之機率，國際癌症研究中心（IARC）將DEHP歸類為第2B類致癌物，即確認為動物致癌物，人類資料尚不充分。

丞燕營養食品系列遵循營養免疫學科學理論製成，嚴選富含植物營養素、抗氧化劑和多醣體的植物為成分，於通過GMP認證的工廠生產製造，不添加起雲劑、阿拉伯膠、乳化劑、棕櫚油等添加劑，更不含DEHP塑化劑，敬請安心食用。

SAFETY ASSURED

Consumer safety is E. Excel’s number one priority. Hence E. Excel products are always held to the highest quality and safety standards. To ensure that every E. Excel product is safe and wholesome, E. Excel does not use food additives such as clouding agents, gum Arabic, emulsifiers and palm oil. Please be assured that E. Excel products do not contain melamine and plasticizer DEHP.

There is a recent plasticizer DEHP contamination scare in Taiwan involving DEHP-tainted food and drinks. According to media reports as of 24 May 2011, Taiwan has recalled or removed from store shelves nearly 460,000 bottles of sports drinks, fruit juice, tea beverages, as well as 20,000 kilograms of fruit juice, fruit jam and yogurt powder, and 130,000 packs of probiotic powder. The Taiwan Department of Health has reported that the number of tainted products is expected to snowball. With the global flow of products, these tainted products may have reached overseas, such as Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Shanghai.

DEHP is a plasticizer commonly found in plastic products. It is a colorless, tasteless liquid. In high doses, it affects the reproductive system of rodents and increases their risk of liver tumors. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies DEHP as a group 2B carcinogen that is a confirmed animal carcinogen and possibly carcinogenic to humans.

Manufactured in factories with good manufacturing practice (GMP) certification, E.
