How to distinguish them!

How to distinguish between dairy products vs milk drinks
According to the relevant regulations of our country, drinks related to "(cow/sheep) milk" can basically be divided into 2 categories: dairy products and milk-containing beverages.
The national standard GB/T 21732-2008 stipulates that milk-containing beverages are beverage products made of milk or dairy products as raw materials, added to water and appropriate amount of excipients through preparation or fermentation. It is mainly divided into prepared milk-containing beverages, fermented milk-containing beverages and lactic acid bacteria beverages.
Take a look at the nutritional data of the following 4 categories of products:
01
The protein content of pure milk and pure yogurt shall not be less than 2.9%;
02
The protein content of flavored milk, seasoned sour milk and fruit sour milk shall not be less than 2.3%;
03
The protein content of milk drinks and lactic acid bacteria milk drinks shall not be less than 1%;
04
The protein of lactic acid drinks and lactic acid bacteria beverages shall not be less than 0.7%.
It can be seen that there are obvious differences in nutritional value between them, and the nutritional value of the latter two is relatively low.
According to the relevant requirements of our country, the various ingredients in the product ingredient list should be listed in order from highest to lowest. In addition to milk, the ingredients of milk-containing beverages generally also contain water, sweeteners, acidulants, fruity agents, preservatives, etc., and the water with the highest content is often ranked first. Cow's milk or pure sour milk puts cow's milk first.
So milk-containing drinks ≠ milk. Milk-containing beverages contain no less than 30% of milk or dairy products, but the sugar content is high, and long-term drinking not only can not supplement nutrition, but also increases the burden on the human body.
Here is also a shopping guide for everyone!
Look for these 3 things, make sure to buy well!
Look at the product name and variety
Like milk drinks, lactic acid drinks, lactic acid bacteria drinks, etc. are common milk-containing beverages.
Look at the ingredient list
Milk-containing beverages generally rank first in water, and the content of milk raw materials is less than that of water.
Look at the nutrition facts list
The protein content of milk-containing beverages is not less than 1.0% (of which lactic acid bacteria drinks are not less than 0.7%), and in pure milk, it cannot be less than 2.9%.

A:
Although peanut milk is milky white, it is not necessarily milk, the product type will generally be marked as a "drink", in the ingredient list is generally water, sugar, peanuts, walnuts in the front, as for the milk powder or milk added less.
Q:
Is walnut milk milk milk?
A:
Under the "walnut milk" there is often a line of small print indicating that it is also a plant protein "drink", some walnut milk ingredients are not even added to the ingredient list without any milk ingredients, and the protein content in the nutrition content table is far lower than the relevant dairy national standards.
Q:
The price of breakfast milk is more expensive than pure milk, because the protein content is high, better than pure milk?
A:
On the contrary, because of the addition of water, the protein content of breakfast milk is not as good as pure milk; although wheat extract / walnut powder / cereals and nutritional enhancers are added, the amount of addition is very limited; and the breakfast milk is added with sugar, which is a minus.
