First we need to clarify what exactly is milk powder? The first thing we need to clarify is what exactly is the milk powder = base powder + whey protein powder + various nutrients, which accounts for more than 90% of the cost of the milk powder itself. A few elements of high quality milk powder 1, the quality of the milk source is the basis for good or bad milk powder milk source is obtained mainly in two modes: one is the milk source through procurement, 08 years of Sanlu is in this link in the problem, the milk source received adulterated with melamine. The other is that the milk is sourced from farms, where the quality of the milk is controlled and monitored at the source. The two models are more trustworthy and reassuring to mothers than having their own farm. The best global milk source base is currently in Northern Europe (represented by the Netherlands, including Denmark, Sweden and Norway, as well as Switzerland, Austria and Germany and other Alpine regions) and Australia (represented by New Zealand, including Australia), and almost all of the quality milk powder we know comes from these two regions. 2, the formula is close to breast milk 27% of the protein in breast milk is a-lactalbumin, so a-lactalbumin content close to this value is near breast milk formula. The global management of milk powder is very strict, so the differences in formulas will not be too big. In order to differentiate their products from other products, different companies and brands will intentionally and unintentionally strengthen certain nutrients and come up with their own concepts. Objectively speaking, the addition of these nutrients is not so great role, adding more is not necessarily good, are still in the process of proof. 3, milk powder processing process Milk powder production has two processes: dry method – liquid milk into a powder and then mixed with other nutrients powder. Wet method – liquid milk is mixed with other nutrients and then made into powder. The wet process is relatively better than the dry process, the wet method first requires the milk powder factory must be close to the milk source, the dry method is used more in the Chinese milk powder market. 4, milk powder packaging labeling complete According to national standards, the outer packaging must be marked with the name of the factory, factory address, production date, shelf life, implementation of standards, trademarks, net content, ingredients list, nutrition factsheet and consumption methods and other items. The nutrition factsheet should indicate the basic nutrients such as calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin C, some B vitamins, trace elements such as calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, or also indicate the addition of other nutrients. Second, what milk powder is suitable for babies 1, look at the baby’s reaction after consumption The baby consumed no constipation, no diarrhea, no bad breath, less eye droppings, no rash, normal growth in height and weight and other indicators, the baby sleeps well and has a normal appetite. 2, targeted selection of appropriate products Anorexia, premature birth, diarrhea, bloating, vomiting allergies or slow growth of the baby should choose the corresponding milk powder. Because of the individual differences of each baby, other babies drink good milk powder may not necessarily be good for their own babies to drink, so choose the right milk powder according to the actual situation of their babies. The actual situation of your own baby is the actual situation. The actual imported milk powder is actually divided into the same as cell phones: licensed and non-licensed. The actual imported milk powder 1, milk source imports, domestic production 100% imported milk source = imported base powder + domestic nutrients. 100% imported raw materials = imported base powder + imported nutrients. The latter can be better than the former, but are produced domestically, a variety of raw materials dry mix processing. 2, foreign mixed, domestic distribution foreign milk source + foreign nutrients in foreign mixed, in the form of large packages shipped to the domestic and then by the domestic factory sub-assembly. At first glance, is it better than the previous one? In fact, this is not as good as the previous one, and then the sub-assembly process will reduce the safety of the finished product. And domestic manufacturers will be a variety of OEM products, manufacturing the so-called “imported milk powder”, these brands abroad have never heard of. 3, the original original cans imported in foreign factories to produce canned, using local milk sources and nutrients, directly independent cans of finished products imported into the country. In the line of imported milk powder, relatively speaking, this model is the most reliable. The larger milk powder brands have multiple product lines using different models. The low end uses model one or two, and the high end uses model three. Non-linear imported milk powder Each country has its own standards for milk powder, and this standard is based on data from the nutritional census of its own population. So the hottest foreign babies drink milk powder is thus blocked by the national standard for Chinese infant formula. The only way for the average consumer to buy non-linear imported milk powder is to buy it from overseas retail outlets and ship it back, in addition to through domestic buying platforms. Now there are generally two methods of shipping back: local human back or air freight transfer back to China. The majority of mothers choose the way to return home through transit, which is what we call “sea amoy” family. The biggest advantage is the convenience, because not all mothers have the resources to carry milk powder directly from overseas back. But there are also some disadvantages to transferring: a. Longer time. The basic is half a month, you need to buy in advance, to avoid the baby out of food; b. transfer company exchange risk. Choose a trusted transit is very important in the sea amoy; c. Transport breakage and customs clearance. Breakage may occur in transport, into the Chinese customs may be taxed. Tips: Amoy transit must choose air freight, especially milk powder this kind of food. General foreign shipping routes to China are to go more than 30 days, especially Europe and the United States shipping routes, of which more than 15 days are in the equatorial region, the cabin temperature of the cargo ship top warehouse up to more than fifty degrees, the storage of food is very unfavorable, very easy to cause deterioration.
