The detection of additives in pickles in Sichuan province will provide a reference for government regulation and consumption of residents. There were 576 lot samples of pickles collected from 42 districts or counties of 21 prefectural-level cities and autonomous prefectures in Sichuan in 2019 used as raw materials. The additive contents in samples were detected according to Chinese national standards, and the residual status of additives in pickles was analyzed. The results showed that 12 kinds of additives were detected from pickles and the detection rates were from 1.91% to 65.10%. Moreover, the detection rates of benzoic acid, sorbic acid, acesulfame-k, dehydroacetic acid, sulfur dioxide, tartrazine, and nitrite of those additives exceeded 40%. Eight additives were added excessively and one additive was added illegally, their exceeding-standard rates were 0.17%-13.89%, and benzoic acid (8.33%), sulfur dioxide (13.89%), and tartrazine (1.91%) had higher exceeding-standard rates. Furthermore, at least five additives were detected from every district or country and some additives in pickles from 31 districts or counties (73.81%) exceeded Chinese national standards. 1-9 additives were simultaneously detected from 98.78% of pickle samples, and most of the samples (49.31%) simultaneously contained 3-4 additives. One to three additives in 22.57% of pickle samples simultaneously exceeded national standards, and one additive in most of the samples (18.23%) exceeded standards. Addition and the exceeding standard of additives in pickles were associated with the types of raw materials. Nine, nine, and six additives in bulk pickles and pickles produced by the self-employed and from farmer’s market exceeded standards, respectively, and exceeding-standard rates of benzoic acid and sulfur dioxide reached up to 13.64%-16.36% and 24.52%-36.35%. The results demonstrated that the additive is widely used in pickles in Sichuan and some additives were added excessively and illegally. Pickles produced by the self-employed and from farmer’s markets and bulk pickles should be attentively supervised and inspected for consumption safety.
