The main ingredients of sweet milk tea sold in general supermarkets are nothing more than the following:
1, instant tea powder: This thing is very simple and harmless. The general process is to boil tea leaves, throw away tea residues, and take tea leaves for a series of processes, such as filtration, fine filtration, membrane concentration, vacuum concentration, spray drying and so on. Remove all the water and finally get a little fine powder.
Maltodextrin is basically added in the middle, which is harmless to people and animals, mainly to help spray drying.
2, non-dairy creamer: it is commonly known as creamer. There are hydrogenated vegetable oils in non-dairy creamer, and trans fatty acids in hydrogenated vegetable oils are unhealthy factors. However, trans fatty acids usually occur naturally in animal and vegetable oils.
If the non-dairy creamer used by manufacturers meets the national standards, there is generally no need to worry about safety. However, the main reason for using non-dairy creamer is to reduce the consumption of milk powder and reduce the cost. As a consumer, I definitely hope that the less the better.
3, milk powder: this does not need to be explained, harmless.
4. Other protein: Some milk teas will be added with whey protein, which meets the requirements of national standard protein. Harmless.
5. Sugar: This needs no explanation.
6. Edible essence: the addition amount is generally calculated in thousands, which is harmless.
Personally, if it is harmful, it is because milk tea will increase the intake of sugar and fat. Excessive calorie intake can cause obesity, hyperlipidemia and other diseases, which is the real harm. However, this is not a unique problem of milk tea.
