Imported baby milk powder

Now a large amount of imported infant formula powder occupies the Chinese market, but we must remind everyone that imported formula powder is not necessarily safe, and there are now many "foreign formula powders" with labels. Now according to media reports, a lot of milk powder on the Chinese market is "fake goat milk". They are registered milk powder brands in New Zealand and the United States and produced in China under their own brand names. It is understood that among the more than 100 foreign milk powder brands, more than 70% are produced by Chinese OEM.

Recently, the State Administration of Work Safety reminded everyone that imported infant formula is not necessarily safer than domestic formula. Many cheap imported milk powders purchased from overseas are expired or near-expiry milk powders that have had their shelf life modified and sold to Chinese people. Many mothers should pay attention and not buy cheap ones to avoid causing harm to their babies. So what should you pay attention to when buying imported infant formula? Let the experts explain it to you below.

1. Foreign milk powder with Chinese labels is fake

The outer packaging is printed entirely in a foreign language and a small Chinese label is affixed. This is the key way for many mothers to identify imported food. As a result, many fake foreign products seized on this mentality of consumers, first printing the outer packaging in a foreign language, and then affixing Chinese labels on them, trying to pass them off as foreign goods. However, starting today, such products will no longer have a place to stay. According to national regulations, if there is no Chinese label on the product packaging or the Chinese label does not comply with my country's laws and regulations and national food safety standards, it will be returned or destroyed as an unqualified product. If you see foreign milk powder produced after April 1 still with Chinese labels, it means the product is fake.

2. Don’t buy foreign milk powder if the label does not meet the regulations

In the past, there were some drawbacks in putting Chinese labels on milk powder cans, such as relatively little information. Some cans only indicated the product name, ingredient list, place of origin, agent and other information, and did not even have a nutritional information table. The requirement to print Chinese labels this time will be more conducive to consumers' understanding of the product. When purchasing original imported foreign milk powder, you should pay attention to whether the food name, net content, production date and shelf life, ingredient list, nutritional composition table, consumption method (feeding table), storage method, country or region of origin, agent name and contact information are marked. If the content is incomplete, it is a fake.

3. Be cautious when shopping online or overseas for foreign milk powder

Many mothers like to shop online and buy foreign milk powder from overseas. Here we would like to remind everyone that it is best to buy foreign milk powder online from the e-commerce companies designated by the manufacturer. For example, a certain original imported foreign milk powder will indicate the designated e-commerce company on its official online mall. Mothers can buy it on the designated authorized website. Please note that these are generally products operated by e-commerce companies themselves, so some individuals or store sellers should be cautious. If you want to buy overseas milk powder, it is recommended that you go to a local regular supermarket to buy it yourself or ask relatives and friends to buy it for you. Due to limited knowledge of foreign products in China and unfamiliarity with foreign languages, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the products, and there is no after-sales guarantee after purchase. It is recommended that you buy through regular channels.

After the introduction to imported infant milk powder, do mothers know how to buy milk powder? I hope this can be helpful to mothers. Here I would like to remind everyone to choose regular supermarkets and official websites, and be careful not to buy fake milk powder that may harm your children. In fact, no matter how good the milk powder is, it is not as good as breast milk. Not only can it allow children to drink it with confidence, but it can also enhance the relationship between mother and child.
