Can "juice and milk powder" really bring more nutrition to children?
Recently, a consumer reported to reporters that he saw someone sending advertisements for juice and milk powder in a WeChat mother group, and said that it is suitable for babies who are picky, anorexia, and do not like to drink milk powder.
However, Wang Dingmian, a well-known dairy expert, told Yangchengpai reporter that at present, all countries around the world, including China, do not contain fruits or other complementary food ingredients in infant formula milk powder, and the term "juice milk powder" may be suspected of being a gimmick.
Ms. Liang told reporters that she saw a new milk powder in the group, and the term "juice milk powder" is very eye-catching. "Fruit is a good thing, and it will be intuitively associated with the addition of milk powder to bring better nutritional supplements to the baby."
Ms. Liang said that because her baby doesn't like to drink milk powder, she was very moved when she saw the statement mentioned in the advertisement that "suitable for babies who are picky, anorexia, and don't like to drink milk powder."
Another consumer, Ms. Zhao, said that because the baby can add complementary foods when he is six months old, she naturally thinks that there is nothing wrong with adding milk powder to juice. However, the two consumers also said that they still had some doubts about this new product, "After all, the baby is still young and dare not feed it casually." The juice and milk powder picture sold in the WeChat group provided by
According to the WeChat picture provided by Ms. Liang, the reporter found out that this was a new product produced by a Nanchang enterprise. From the front of the packaging, the four big words "juice and milk powder" are clearly in the picture and are equipped with a cartoon image of children, but there is no suitable population marked with juice and milk powder.
also mentioned in the company's WeChat official account that the juice milk powder contains 21 kinds of fruit powder, which belongs to "probiotic juice milk powder". It also said that the milk powder is a high-end formula and leads the industry.
During the visit, the reporter learned that juice milk powder is currently difficult to find in physical stores, but a variety of products can be found in online stores. Interestingly, the prices of these juice milk powders are very different, and the domestic ones are several times higher than those imported ones. Take an imported Taiwanese-style full juice milk powder as an example. The price of 1,000 grams is only more than 90 yuan, while the price of another Nanchang-produced juice milk powder is about 250 yuan. Which group of people are suitable for
juice milk powder?
In communication with the owner of the online store, the owner of the store selling imported juice milk powder clearly informed that the milk powder is suitable for children after 6 years of age and is not suitable for infants and young children. The owner of an online store selling domestic juice and milk powder said that children aged 1-10 can drink it.
In response to this, Wang Dingmian, a well-known dairy expert, said that parents of infants and young children should carefully choose juice milk powder, as the milk powder may be suspected of being a gimmick. First of all, none of the infant formula in my country contains fruits or other complementary food ingredients.
"When formulating the formula, our country's nutrition experts have taken into account the various nutritional elements needed by infants and young children, but do not contain fruit ingredients. In infant formula milk powder in other countries also does not contain fruit ingredients."
It is understood that infants and young children have many attention points in their diet, not all foods are suitable, and no food can be added to milk powder. Secondly, the juice is not accurate.
"How to add liquid juice to solid milk powder? It can only be added to the juice processing and fruit powder. Not all fruits are suitable. There must be scientific evidence."
Third, "juice milk powder" can exist, but it must be clearly applicable. Wang Dingmian said that juice milk powder can be used as a child-enhancing milk powder or adult milk powder, but "it is suitable for children after the age of five or six."
