十六安息日。 20 世纪 50 年代和 1960 年代德国的异物和重要物质、专家和批判消费者在 50 年代末和 60 年代初，食品添加剂的监管代表了德国消费者政治的一个显着转折点，引发了关于决策和政策建议的辩论，改变了纯度和污染的话语，并开创了一个新的政治角色，即有组织的批判消费者。 1958 年 12 月的《食品法》修正案发挥了科学、工业和国家代表之间的谈判过程的作用，并在德国研究基金会参议院委员会中制度化。虽然这些防腐剂、异物和着色剂委员会闭门工作，但有关现代生活的“有毒状况”以及制药和化学工业的负面作用的公开讨论却日渐盛行。关于六亚甲基四胺 (hexamite) 许可的争论在关键时刻展开。 Hexa 在渔业中用作防腐剂。但其抗菌功效是由六六分解为甲醛引起的。尽管委员会对 hexa 做出了不利的裁决，但该行业的游说活动使其获得了缓刑。在媒体上，六角体案例被视为谈判决策能力和理性科学家抵抗工业要求能力的试金石。最后，在 1963 年，有组织的批评消费者、家庭主妇联合会的继承人和继承者以及倡导生活改革的“纯粹主义者”的新政治行动者，在媒体的支持下，强制执行了六方化合物作为防腐剂的禁令。
Hexa-Sabbath. Foreign Matter and Vital Substances, Experts and the Critical Consumer in the FRG during the 1950s and 1960sIn the late Fifties and early Sixties the regulation of food additives represented a remarkable turning point in German consumer politics, establishing a debate about decision making and policy advice, altering the discourse of purity and contamination, and inaugurating a new political actor, the organized critical consumer. The amendment of the Food Law in December 1958 functioned as a negotiation process between representatives of science, industry and the state, which was institutionalized in the Senate Commissions of the German Research Foundation. While these Commissions for preservatives, foreign matter and colorants worked behind closed doors, a public discourse about the “toxic condition” of modern life and the negative role of the pharmaceutical and chemical industry gained strength.The debate about the admission of hexamethylenetetramine (hexa) took part at a crucial moment. Hexa was used as a preservative in the fish industry. But its anti microbial effectiveness was caused by the decomposition of hexa to formaldehyde. Despite the commission’s verdict against hexa, the lobbying activities of the industry granted it a reprieve. In the media, the case of hexa was seen as a touchstone for the capacity of negotiated decision making and the ability of rational scientists to resist the demands of industry. Finally, in 1963 it was the new political actor of the organized critical consumer, heir and successor to the housewife federations as well as to “purists” advocating life reform, who, supported by the media, enforced the prohibition of hexa as a preservative.
