On January 19, 2022, Sweden notified its export of infant formula through the RASFF (EU Food and Feed Rapid Warning System) that the batch of unqualified infant formula was sold to China, in addition to Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden and Switzerland.

Substandard infant formula
It has been sold to 9 countries such as China and Finland
The reason for the notification of the failure of infant formula is that milk powder, which should be suitable for two-year-old children, has been sold to newborns under the age of 6 months. At present, this batch of milk powder is being recalled from consumers.
(From the official website of the EU Food and Feed Rapid Warning System RASFF)
It should be known that long-term drinking of high-grade milk powder in small-month-old babies can lead to malnutrition, growth retardation, increased metabolic burden on the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys, and other adverse symptoms, which greatly affects the normal growth and development of babies. At the same time, older babies are not suitable for eating low-grade milk powder, and babies are prone to unbalanced nutrition, which will also increase the chance of obesity. Therefore, it is very important that milk powder is fed according to the age of the month.
The haitao milk powder with the full English logo is easy to confuse, and it is difficult for consumers to obtain detailed information such as the position, raw materials, and formula of the milk powder through the information of the tank logo, resulting in the purchase of inappropriate milk powder such as the mismatch of the position for the baby to eat.

note! Milk powder you buy on your behalf
Probably not for your baby!
Long-term drinking of Haitao milk powder is not conducive to the growth and development of children, and parents should know
Haitao milk powder meets the production standards of the country of sale, which is suitable for their national babies to drink, but it is not necessarily suitable for our Chinese babies to drink.
★ Drinking Haitao milk powder for a long time, the height and weight of children are easily lower than those of their peers
Europe and the United States, Australia, New Zealand and other countries, their usual intake of dairy products is relatively high, so in their second and third stages of milk powder, the protein content is lower than the domestic.
The protein content of European second- and third-stage milk powder is 0.45~0.8 g/100 kJ, while the protein content of China's second- and third-stage milk powder countries is 0.7~1.2g/100 kJ.
That is to say, the protein content standard of Chinese milk powder is 30% to 40% higher than that of European milk powder.
Long-term to the child to drink these protein relatively low milk powder, the child's complementary food, meat food is not particularly much added, will lead to the child's protein deficiency, low weight, height growth and development retardation and so on.
★ Long-term drinking of haitao milk powder can easily lead to children exceeding the standard of iron
For example, the iron element of infant formula in the United States stipulates the lower limit and does not specify the upper limit, so their milk powder may have an iron content far exceeding the standard of our Chinese milk powder, and children drink these milk powders with very high iron content for a long time, resulting in iron excess, which may cause iron poisoning.
★ Long-term drinking of Haitao milk powder can easily lead to iodine deficiency in children and affect intellectual development
Some countries are island countries, so their nationals are not deficient in iodine, the iodine content in milk powder will be relatively low, if the child drinks milk powder in these countries for a long time, it is easy to lead to iodine deficiency, and iodine deficiency will affect the child's intellectual development.
If the mother herself has relatives abroad, then it is recommended to choose three stages of milk powder as much as possible when choosing milk powder.
A piece of milk powder and the child's nutrition correlation is the largest, after all, all the child's nutrition comes from this milk powder, so a piece of milk powder as far as possible to choose the domestic formal channels to produce.
When drinking the second stage of milk powder, the child is in the stage of adding complementary foods, and the main nutrition is mainly milk, or it is recommended to drink the normal channels of domestic sales.
When the three-stage milk powder is used, the child's daily milk amount is about 400 to 600 ml, accounting for only 1/3 of the child's daily diet, and even directly give the child to drink pure milk and kefir cheese. At this time, if parents have relatives and friends in foreign countries, they can directly help buy Haitao milk powder is not a big problem for children to drink, after all, the proportion of nutrition accounted for by children at this time is relatively small.

caution! Buy baby formula
Recommended on the regular channel!
Although "fake and shoddy" milk powder is now relatively rare, how can we avoid buying fake milk powder?
Haitao milk powder is risky, and you need to be cautious when purchasing!
Buy Haitao milk powder with caution
Haitao milk powder refers to the milk powder brand that has reached transactions through private purchasing or third-party e-commerce platforms from areas other than Chinese mainland. Prices are relatively inexpensive, but they do not go through strict customs quarantine. "The source of Haitao version of milk powder is different from the source of the Bank of China's version of milk powder", which means that the source channel is not clear, the quality cannot be guaranteed, and the risk of goods fraud is higher. Therefore, the purchase of this way of haitao is the least guarantee of milk powder quality, because you can not determine the source of their purchase.
Regular mother and baby stores, supermarkets and other channels to buy
Since the implementation of the New Deal in 2018, only registered infant formula milk powder products can be legally sold in physical stores in the mainland, so it is safer to buy milk powder in regular mother and baby stores and supermarkets.
We should also remind that no matter which channel you buy through, you must pay attention to the manufacturer, address and production date of the milk powder, etc., and also save the receipt for the purchase of milk powder as a certificate.
Check whether the milk powder has "national food note"
Check whether there is a formula registration certificate number on the tank of a can of milk powder, which is a common inspection method for imported and domestic milk powder, and the registered milk powder will be marked with the formula registration certificate number "National Food Note Word YPxxxxxxxxxx". Consumers can view it through the outer packaging to mark the formula registration certificate number as one of the criteria for identifying whether the milk powder is compliant and reliable.
Never risk your child, because the consequences are unbearable for parents.
In addition, I also want to say to the merchants, do not make black money, children are the future of the motherland, but also the focus of each family, once the growth of children is harmful, not only will be condemned in conscience, but also will be severely punished by the law.
