For the incident of "foreign milk powder", Chinese consumers also said that they are difficult to escape from buying an unsafe product. They used to worry about buying fake goods. Nowadays, the real brand also has a problem frequently, so that parents are really "upset".
On the contrary, the domestic(China) milk powder market has maintained a high-profile control in recent years, especially after the new policy of milk powder launched. The domestically produced milk powder baptized by “strictest milk powder new policy in history” has steadily embarked on a high standard way.
The “Regulations on the Registration of Formulas for Infant Formula Milk Powder Products” stipulates that all milk powder enterprises must register the formula of milk powder, and need to submit the documents of 10 application materials such as research and development capabilities, scientific safety of formulas, etc.
Also, the relevant departments will send a working group to the production site for verification and inspection. The New Deal also stipulates that applicants for infant formula milk powder products must be the enterprises that produce infant formula, and it must have the corresponding R&D, production and inspection capabilities. Moreover, each milk powder factory can only have a maximum registration qualification of 9 formula milk powder products in 3 formula series. The elimination rate is as high as 80%.
Strict inspections have made the unqualified products could not survive. The sampling inspection of the “consumption claims” in 2017 shows that 52 samples of 9 milk powder brands were tested totally. It was finally found that 4 foreign milk powders did not meet Chinese standards. And the measured values of all the indicators of 3 domestic powders such as wonders are in line with China's standards.
The strength of domestic milk powder was witnessed in strict inspections again and again. As a model enterprise in the national powder, wonders have 4000 square kilometers of the great farm, keeping the freshest and highest quality milk source. Enterprises have already fully entered the milk source, products, channels throughout the industrial chain period. It has its independent production lines from the cattle company to the milk source to research and development production, etc., their product can completely be free from environmental contamination, milk source contamination, bacterial infection, and other unfavorable factors. The interference of Wodersun's infant formula, such as AnLiCong, loved by the mothers, is a milk powder specially developed for the Chinese baby's physique. The formula is more suitable for Chinese babies. The era of superstitious foreign milk powder has passed.
Therefore, after the People’s Daily exposed the Lactalis scandal, Chinese parents should be more sensible in dealing with their baby’s rations, polishing their eyes to choose a safer and more suitable milk powder for babies. We should know the pricing of milk is not the most important thing when we select milk powder for babies.
