That is to say, each bag of 1g, the content of lactoferrin is 100mg, which needs to be prepared to 100 ml, and roughly calculated, the content is 100mg/100ml, that is, 1g/L.
03 Measurement or quality inspection > 100mg/100g, or even several times the national standard
Here first to clarify a basic concept, the amount of use, the amount of additional additions, and the difference between the content.
The national standard of 100mg/100g and 1g/L are all used, or additionally added. When additional lactoferrin is added as a food nutrition enhancer, this amount should be controlled within the scope of the national standard.
However, we all know that in addition to the additional addition of lactoferrin, the product ingredients include whey powder, whole fat, bovine colostrum, etc. contain lactoferrin.
According to GB28050-2011 "National Standard for Food Safety General Principles for Prepackaged Food Nutrition Labels", food nutrition ingredients should be expressed as numerical values, and the values can be obtained through raw material calculations or product testing.
Therefore, if the ingredients contain whey powder, whole fat, bovine colostrum, etc., the general record is marked with the total content of lactoferrin.
Just like the pure milk we drink, there is only raw milk in the ingredient list, but it really contains protein and calcium, and can be calculated through content measurement or product detection. There are many professional manufacturers will also through strict measurement and product testing, the value of the nutritional content is marked. The amount indicated here is the total amount of all lactoferrin components in the product.
(Of course, the addition of lactoferrin as a food fortifier in the product must meet the national standard.) ）
The content includes the amount of use / additional addition, from the total amount, with the high content of whey protein with its own lactated iron content, allowing more than the national standard.
But the product name should also be noted.
If the name is directly XX lactoferrin powder, lactoferrin must be added separately in the ingredients;
The name of XX whey protein powder is a concocted milk powder, which can be labeled with lactoferrin content in the ingredient list without adding lactoferrin alone.

In addition, the efficacy of lactoferrin is not only to see the content, what is important is purity, the higher the purity, the better the effect, so the country has also made a new explanation of the purity of lactoferrin.
Due to the different extraction methods and separation processes, the purity of lactoferrin is basically between 80% and 98%.
According to the new national standard for food safety "Food Nutrition Enhancer Lactoferrin" GB1903.17-2016 implemented in July 2017, the physical and chemical indicators of lactoferrin were modified, and the purity of lactoferrin was increased from 90% to 95%.
04 Compound nutritional enhancers
In accordance with the provisions of national regulations, the compound is generally used as a raw material for nutritional fortification, circulated among enterprises, and cannot be sold as a product, as a retail compound nutritional enhancer, which can only be sold in the formulation place and under special guidance.
Finally, to sum up:
1. Not all products allow the addition of lactoferrin as a food nutrition enhancer alone.
The allowed types are: modulated milk, flavored fermented milk, milk-containing beverages, infant formula, and prepared milk powders.
Therefore, in solid beverages, complex protein powders, candy, drops, etc., additional lactoferrin is added separately, no, whey powder is substituted, it can be.
2, modulation of milk powder, ingredients do not have to add additional lactoferrin, but the composition list should be clearly marked with the content of lactoferrin.
The name is lactoferrin modulated milk powder, lactoferrin must be added separately in the ingredients, the content ≤ 100mg/100g;
The name is whey protein modulated milk powder, depending on whether the ingredients are whey powder, full fat, bovine colostrum, etc., if contained, the general record is marked with the total content of lactoferrin, the content of the label can be greater than 100mg / 100g.
3, the identification of imported products, must be based on the white label logo, and in line with the above principles, because many labels are allowed abroad, but not allowed in China; in addition, blue hats and other special products, subject to national approval, filing.
