Recently, the remarks about "large bags of powder" have exploded on some short video websites, and it is always pointed out that the milk powder filled with large bags of powder is not as good as the direct filling of fresh milk with nutrient retention. Therefore, many parents have come to ask Zhi Zhijun, is there any difference between large bags of flour and fresh milk flour? Can the milk powder produced by the large bag of flour be eaten in the end? ......
Everyone has such a worry, because only heard some of the merchants or some of the industry's "partial explanations", in fact, to come to the conclusion that "raw milk is better" There are some prerequisites, perhaps because of the length or time reasons, they did not say clearly, today Zhi Food Jun will add it!
First of all, let's explain that the focus of this debate is the first place on the milk powder ingredient list, which is what we often call the milk base. This raw material will generally be marked as "whole milk powder" or "skimmed milk powder", or it may be "raw milk" or "skimmed milk", the first two are commonly known as "large bags of powder", the latter is the recent emerging "fresh milk powder". I believe that many parents have been bombarded by the media, and are now more familiar, let's talk about some businesses or insiders who say less:
The biggest impression of "fresh milk flour" is that it is more "fresh and nutritious", because it is made of fresh milk, but this is more of a preconceived impression, completely ignoring the impact of the production process on milk! In the view of Zhi Food Jun, I am afraid that "fresh nutrition" refers to milk, not after milk is powdered. Because no matter what kind of milk, nutrients will inevitably be lost during the production process!
According to the requirements of the review rules launched by the state in 2013, there are currently three kinds of infant milk powder production processes that can be used, namely dry, wet and dry wet methods, and "fresh milk powder" uses the wet process. However, from the perspective of production technology, these three processes are all nationally approved production methods, and there is no distinction between which is more clever.
In addition, no matter what kind of process, regardless of whether the fresh milk is fresh or not, it needs to go through a high temperature procedure when forming powder, so there are basically not many nutrient active substances retained. However, before all formula milk powders are sold, they need to add the necessary nutrients in accordance with national standards, so no matter which one is used as a raw material, there will be no problem of insufficient nutrition.
It is worth mentioning that there is no scientific study at present that the use of fresh milk as a milk-based raw material is more nutritious than the formula milk powder produced by the "big bag powder", but now the skimmed milk powder is still the mainstream choice of global milk powder raw materials.
The safety of milk powder and whether to use "large bags of powder" or fresh milk do not have much to do with it, because the production and circulation process of milk powder must undergo a series of strict inspections and meet the relevant national standards before they can be sold
In addition, just emphasizing "fresh" just wants to show that such a milk base will be better, I am afraid it is one-sided. In fact, measuring the quality of the milk base, in addition to freshness, is also directly related to the environment of the milk source area, grazing methods, the quality of pasture grass, dairy cow breeds and other factors. For example, at the extreme, if a ranch is seriously polluted, then the milk produced by the cows raised in it is used to make milk powder, even if it is fresh, do mothers dare to buy it?
Expanded to a can of milk powder, there are more factors to measure good or bad, in addition to the milk source, but also a comprehensive reference to the factory's production equipment, process, health inspection, formula and other factors. Therefore, some insiders stressed that a milk powder can not be judged good or bad by which aspect alone, and it is only meaningful to compare "whether the milk source is fresh" in the case of the same level of milk source, the same formula, and the same process.
The third thing that is easy to overlook is that we only see freshness, but forget the most basic measure of milk powder - whether the formula is close to breast milk.
I don't know if you have ever thought, if it is for freshness, why not drink milk directly to the baby?
In fact, because the nutritional composition of milk and breast milk are different, fresh milk is difficult to digest by the baby, and formula milk powder needs to be made by defatting and other treatments, and then adding different nutrients. Under the premise of ensuring the quality of milk powder, how to add these elements that can meet the baby's nutrition, how to proportion them, and whether they are close to breast milk is the gold standard for measuring the quality of a milk powder.
Therefore, Zhishijun also suggests that as long as it is a milk powder processed from high-quality milk, it meets the relevant standards and has quality assurance, and mothers may wish to consider the brand strength of milk powder, price selection, formula closer to breast milk and other factors according to their actual situation, as for which milk-based raw materials, this detail does not have to be cared about!
