②Health (functional) foods generally have a specific consumption range (specific groups of people); while general foods have no specific consumption range.
③General foods also contain physiologically active substances. Due to the low content, they cannot reach the concentration that regulates functions in the human body and cannot achieve their efficacy. The physiologically active substances in health-care (functional) foods are extracted, separated, and concentrated (or some physiologically active substances with higher purity are added), so that they can reach the concentration that exerts their effects in the human body, thus possessing the third quality of food. Three functions.
