Overnight, the #Buffalo Buffalo Sale Shutdown incident became a hot topic. After the melamine incident, with the joint efforts of domestic dairy enterprises and regulatory authorities, the people have gradually recovered confidence in domestic dairy products, but this incident of suspension of buyan milk is undoubtedly another blow to the small heart of consumers.
I was also a consumer of the Parmesan brand, and I bought its buffalo pure milk, and at that time I was attracted by an Internet celebrity slogan "Ice Cream Taste Milk" and wanted to try it. Therefore, suddenly brushed to the news that it was discontinued, or want to understand the reason.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > Why is it discontinued? </h1>
On June 24, 2021, the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Market Supervision and Administration (Intellectual Property Office) issued a notice, "Dongguan Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau Notice on Food Supervision and Sampling Information (No. 26 [2021])", which mentions that the unqualified samples of sampling are "the nominal buffalo high-calcium milk produced by Guangxi Baifei Dairy Co., Ltd. sold at Dongcheng Jinqiang Department Store in Dongguan City, and the calcium does not meet the national standards for food safety." The inspection agency is Guangzhou Radio and Television Metering and Testing Co., Ltd.", and the notice also said that "for the unqualified products found in the sampling inspection, the Dongguan Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau has required the relevant business units to immediately stop sales, production and other measures to control risks, and investigate and deal with them according to law." "
Notice of Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Market Supervision and Administration on Food Supervision and Sampling Information (No. 26 [2021])
Food supervision sampling of unqualified product information
It can be seen that the reason for the suspension of sales is that the calcium content in the sampling samples is seriously inconsistent with the declared content, and the relevant data involved are-
Unqualified product: Buffalo high calcium milk
Production batch: March 9, 2021
Non-conforming item: Calcium
Test result: 175mg/serving (200ml)
Label value: 240mg/serving (200ml)
If the test result/label value ≥ 80% can be considered a qualified product, that is, if the test result ≥192mg (240×0.8 = 192 ) can pass, the actual test result can be 175mg.

As a net red product, Baifei cheese has a lot of fans, not to mention the "618" just passed, many fans took advantage of the big promotion to hoard a few boxes, see the news of the suspension of sales are worried: can the products that have been purchased still drink? Throw away pity for their hard money, want to drink and worry about safety. Don't worry, I'll take you through the nutrition label.
Some friends indignantly say that high-calcium buffalo milk has such a low protein content and is just a milk drink. Actually, it is not, it is a kind of concocted milk, which is also a kind of dairy product. Dairy products include pasteurized milk (chilled fresh milk), pure milk (autoclaved milk), prepared milk, cheese, fermented milk... Wait a minute.
Parmesan high-calcium buffalo milk is a modulated milk, "a liquid product made of not less than 80% raw cattle (sheep) milk or recombined milk as the main raw material, adding other raw materials or food additives or nutritional enhancers, and using appropriate sterilization or sterilization processes." "
Different from pure (water) milk, pure (water) milk ingredient list can only have one ingredient of raw (water) cow's milk, and can not add any other ingredients; and different from food additives, as long as vitamin D or calcium and other nutritional enhancers are added, it can only be called "modulated milk".
Parmesan buffalo high calcium milk ingredient list
In the ingredient list of this product, raw buffalo milk, drinking water, white sugar, edible flavors, these are all literal, no need to explain; calcium carbonate is the so-called "high calcium" added ingredients; other food additives are-
Microcrystalline cellulose: anti-caking agent, usually combined with the emulsifier sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
Mono, diglyceride fatty acid esters: emulsifiers.
Sodium tripolyphosphate: a moisture retention agent.
Carrageenan, xanthan gum: thickener.
How is high calcium milk considered "high calcium"?
Nutrition facts of Buffalo high calcium milk
Since the calcium content of this product is not up to standard, what is the calcium content as the testing standard?
According to the "GB 28050-2011 Food National Safety Standards General Principles for Nutrition Labels for Prepackaged Foods", the nutrient reference value (NRV) of calcium is 800mg, and if this (liquid) milk is to claim "high calcium", its calcium content is required to be 15% NRV per 100ml ≥, which means that the calcium content should reach at least 800×0.15 = 120mg/100ml.
The sampling results of Dongguan this time were 175mg/200ml, that is, 87.5mg/100ml, which was far less than the "high calcium" claimed standard, or even inferior to ordinary pure milk. General pure milk, calcium content of 100 ~ 130mg / 100ml.
From this result, it is reasonable and legal that this high-calcium buffalo milk is discontinued, but the product itself is not to say that it cannot be drunk, after all, it is not related to food safety and hygiene, nor does it contain illegal added ingredients, but the nutrient content is not up to standard, and the nutrient density is reduced. Taking a step back, even if this product is qualified, its nutritional value is still not as good as pure (water) milk (one is that the protein content is lower, and the other is that the additional calcium added is not as good as the calcium that comes with the milk), do not be confused by the "high calcium".
So, can you drink it? Yes, no big deal.
After the suspension of sales, Guangxi Baifei Dairy Co., Ltd. issued a relevant statement on Weibo. And watch things unfold! It is hoped that this incident will serve as a warning for domestic dairy enterprises, and large dairy enterprises will take the lead in providing high-quality, safe and reliable dairy products to the people.
