In an interview with CCTV, Unilever Global Vice President Zeng Xiwen also responded to this issue. He admitted that China does indeed use reconstituted milk, which is milk powder plus water, while Europe uses water plus concentrated milk. The reason is that it is difficult to transport fresh milk from Europe to China and there are supply problems in the country.
What's the difference? The difference is really huge. First of all, there is a difference in taste. Ice cream made with milk powder and water tastes different from ice cream made with concentrated milk and water. In terms of cost, some experts said that the cost of reconstituted milk is about 8,000 to 10,000 yuan, and the price of concentrated milk is about 13,000 to 14,000 yuan per ton, and the price difference is about 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per ton.
experts also believe that this is not an exception in the Chinese market. Many foreign brands entering the Chinese market have similar double-standard issues.
