Comments on major brands of formula milk powder at home and abroad in 2007
Many conscientious milk powder enterprises have signed agreements with international breast milk companies not to promote milk powder. Mainly many enterprises in Europe, such as Topfield, Meisujiaer, Nestle and so on. The first two are also in China, so their popularity is relatively small; Nestle treats Asia and Europe completely differently. They advertise in China.
Common milk powder grades are as follows:
High-end: Samui, Abbott Gold (made in Denmark and the Netherlands), Hong Kong Niulan.
Slightly better: Mead Johnson, Wyeth, Nestle Nenen, Dumex Golden Shield, Mecocorte,
Mid-range: excellent taste+gold Yili Shengyuan Youbo Meiji Morinaga Japan
Medium and low: Nanshan, Sanlu, Jinxing, Guangming Youcong, Aoyou (inflated price), Bei Zhikang.
Low-end: He Fei, Shien (the "Oudian floor" in milk powder, a caring mother will know after a little check), Yashili, Beinmei. (In China, it is difficult for private enterprises to even pass the milk powder standard.)
Nestle was in big trouble in China, so many mothers stayed away from energy. However, Nestle's milk powder technology and R&D technology are really powerful. Nestle promised not to use any genetically modified food in Europe, but not in Asian countries. Now it builds a factory in China. The milk source is domestic retail milk, but the equipment is still advanced and the formula is firm, which is still good milk powder.
Have mercy on your child or stop using it! Mercy Corps is known as the United States, but I see that American law stipulates that milk powder must be produced by pharmaceutical companies. There is no big pharmaceutical company called Mercy in the United States, but a tertiary laboratory in a university is called Mercy, with only eight members. The place where there is no reliable milk source is retail milk. Nor does it provide milk powder formula. The boss behind it is a private enterprise founded by Guangzhou Chaoshan three brothers with an investment of 80,000 yuan. This private enterprise is called "Give it to Yashili". Ask Guangzhou people if they want to eat this milk powder? The price is very high, and supermarkets especially like to sell this kind of milk powder, so the profit margin is particularly large. Yashili's milk powder, hehe, a thoughtful mother will know the difference between Yili and it when she drinks it herself, and how much non-milk powder is added. . . Most people report that this milk powder is especially sweet and babies love it. I noticed that they used sucrose (euphemistically called lactose), while high-grade milk powder used fructan.
Beinmei is now flooded with advertisements. And their enterprises have extremely low requirements for products and will do whatever it takes to make a profit. To what extent do they even ask for lowering the requirements for milk powder packaging bags? Manufacturers are required to use imported garbage plastics as milk powder packaging bags. Also, this enterprise is also a private enterprise, and there have been many problems. However, there are senior officials behind their business owners, and they have issued an S order to supervise this enterprise and cannot report it. So mothers try to choose other brands.
Hong Kong's milk powder industry standard is much more advanced than Chinese mainland's. If you are interested, your mother can try to buy milk powder from Hong Kong. For the same brand of things, the formula in Hong Kong is more advanced, more demanding and cheaper than that in mainland China. (The marketing cost of milk powder is very high in Chinese mainland, but not in Hongkong. There are no fakes at present, only parallel imports. What do you mean? That is, the country has no tax, which is a bit harmful to the country, but it does not harm the baby.
1, Abbott.
If you ask carefully, you will know that Abbott in Hong Kong and those sold in the United States and Europe are all new formulas with SA (sialic acid, an important substance for brain development). However, Abbott formula milk powder sold in Chinese mainland market lags behind the international market. Abbott, which is now sold in the mainland market, is a 93-year milk powder formula in the US market. The difference is more than ten years.
It's better in recent years. Abbott sold before did not add DHA at all. Although Abbott has its own narrative, we know in our hearts that it is actually because Americans think that China's consumption power level is relatively low, China's milk powder standard is low, businessmen want to maximize profits, and adding DHA requires tens of millions of capital, so we have a set of narrative. Linolenic acid is the precursor of DHA, and the baby can synthesize it by himself.
Also, Abbott is also a low-end milk powder market. Only Xikangbao and Xikangli are imported, and other high-quality Abbott and granules are made in China. The quality is not as good as ordinary domestic milk powder.
Xikangbao has two producing areas, one is New Zealand and the other is the Netherlands. In principle, the best milk source base in the world is in the Netherlands, which should be Xikangbao in the Netherlands. But different batches of milk powder may lead to different situations.
Hikangli's box is made in Denmark. If you can buy iron drums, mothers try to buy iron drums.
If you can buy Hong Kong, try to buy it in Hong Kong. Because Abbott's formula sold in Chinese mainland is ten years behind the formula sold in the US market.
2. Samui
A serious difference: SA, sialic acid. Things that play an important role in the baby's brain development are not available in the mainland version, but the Hong Kong version has increased. . .
There is another serious difference, the content of protein in the formula. The markets in Hong Kong and the United States have adjusted. There is no adjustment in the mainland.
There is also the price. The incredibly backward version in the mainland is much more expensive than that in Hong Kong, and the operating cost of mainland milk powder is too high. For example, Beimei sells 160 in the supermarket, but who knows, its ex-factory price is only 40 yuan. Huge profits ~
If I say that many domestic milk powders of the same brand have huge profits, some mothers may be afraid to buy them after knowing the price.
3. Youbo
It is the flagship high-end product of Shengyuan Company. It also has a low-end product called "Youcong", which focuses on the working class in China. The price of Youbo is close to the first-class foreign brands, really because the manufacturing cost is too high. Because Youbo uses all imported raw materials (except the raw milk is made in China and the added DHA is imported), the production line is GMP 30.3 million, which is a mid-range production line in the United States. Let's just say that Youbo is no different from imported products except raw milk. Youbo is close to European brand milk powder in taste, which is lighter and less lively. Milk powder is steamed. Is a better choice.
Youcong is different, hehe, all kinds of vitamins are made in China from milk source to addition, and the production line is much simpler, so the cost is lower, mainly for the working class and rural market. Especially after the big-headed doll incident in Anhui, Shengyuan Company put forward the policy of attaching importance to the rural milk powder market in China and developed Youcong series products. If you have the ability to eat Youbo, I still suggest that mothers choose Youbo series.
If your baby is completely used to this milk powder and eats well, there is no need to change it. Among domestic brands, Youbo and Jinzhuang Yili are already top! There is a strict quality inspection system and imported raw materials. The only difference with foreign brands is the domestic milk source. Like them, you can choose Nestle Golden Shield and Dumex Gold.
Yili gold is available in barrels and bags. . . Yili's production line is equipped with Topfield's latest production line in 2005. Since this production line was replaced, the price of milk powder has started to rise. It seems that the bagged ones have gone up by more than ten yuan. Canned food has gone up by more than 30 yuan. At that time, a mother said that she had hoarded old gold Yili. I really want to say, don't hoard. The new production technology is different from the old one. The main component added is sialic acid. Specifically, there is no difference between bagged and barreled products, but the shelf life is different. If your baby eats fast, buy a bag.
4. The difference between Yili and Dumex: Milk source, Yili is better than Dumex. Technically: there is not much difference between the two.
Jin Yili is better than ordinary Dumex, because the raw materials of ordinary Dumex, hehe, just look at the ingredients list yourself.
Yes, there are also strong and weak breast milk, and babies like breast milk best. If there is no milk to drink, he will like the taste of milk powder close to his mother's milk.
5. Wyeth
Babies who don't drink Wyeth are basically babies who don't like sweets Wyeth is sweet and greasy. Maybe the baby has a light taste. You can try changing some light milk powder.
There are two kinds of Wyeth: fully imported and domestic. Children's music with gold medals, athletes' music with gold medals and children's music with gold medals are totally imported. Relatively speaking, it is a good milk powder, but there is a premise that your baby is suitable for cold babies with diarrhea, because Wyeth's milk powder is baked and easy to get angry ~
The production line used by Wyeth in China has been eliminated, but it is better than some ordinary so-called "advanced" in China, at least the workshops of others are qualified. If I buy Wyeth in ordinary clothes, I might as well buy Yili in gold.
6. Mead Johnson
The whey protein content added by Mead Johnson is not as high as other brands of milk powder, but the total protein content is still very reasonable. Therefore, once eaten, it is easy to get angry as we usually say. The baby with cold constitution is very suitable, but the baby with dry stool is best to eat under a different brand.
7. Xu Beier
In the United States, according to the laws of their country, infant milk powder belongs to drug control. Infant milk powder in China belongs to food control. There is a world of difference between the two.
The price of Xubeier is not cheap. I only saw it once. It seems to be 199. This PBM nutrition company started as a pyramid scheme, and everyone knows their huge profits, just like Amway. There are no powerful scientific research institutions or pharmaceutical companies in their backstage. This makes me very suspicious, because the United States stipulates that infant formula belongs to drug control and must pass the testing of the US Drug Administration. But Huber can think of the strongest sign that PBM Nutrition Company is the only infant formula milk powder manufacturing factory in the United States that has passed the ISO900 1:2000 quality management system certification.
There is something wrong with this sentence. Other major milk powder brands in the United States, such as Mead Johnson and Wyeth, are all produced by pharmaceutical companies. They don't need to pass the ISO900 1:2000: 2000 quality management system certification, because what they need is the US Food and Drug Administration, not this food nutrition management system. This is actually a wrong concept for consumers in China. I am the only one who has passed the American food system. Other milk powder in the United States has to go through the drug supervision system (food system is not needed). He can't pass the drug supervision system and can only go to the food store in China to sell it.
If it were me, I wouldn't be superstitious about the word "original import" and give my baby this milk powder without quality assurance system.
8. Niulan
It is one of the three major brands in Europe. You don't have to change it if you don't find any problems, do you?
There is no problem with parallel imports, it is just a purchase channel. That's the dealer's business, not our consumers'. From the perspective of normal customs clearance, it is the same thing as parallel imports, except that one is taxed by the customs and the other is not.
I dare not say that there is no fake milk powder online. However, if you choose a good seller with a large flow and buy canned milk powder, and you have eaten this brand of canned milk yourself, you can compare it carefully and there is generally no big problem.
9. Sanlu
It is an old state-owned enterprise with little quality problem, but its production technology has remained in the 1980s, and there is no market crisis. It was not until some time ago that Sanlu changed its internal management that it began to improve.
Generally speaking, Sanlu is inferior to Yili in gold. It's not the milk source. Sanlu's milk source is good, and both fresh milk and pure milk will be good. However, in addition to milk source, infant formula milk powder also needs production line and technical support. After the cooperation between Yili and Topfield, there has been a qualitative leap, and Sanlu still lacks such high-tech cooperation units. I still recommend Yili for gold.
There is also too much retail milk in Sanlu, too much. The problem of antibiotic residues is basically ignored, and the milk of some sick cows has also entered the sales channel, which makes me very angry. ...
10, flying crane
It is an old state-owned enterprise in Northeast China. China's milk source is excellent, but not as big as Yili's.
As a state-owned enterprise, He Fei almost went bankrupt. There are big loopholes in internal management. The strength of technology research and development can't keep up. Relatively speaking, the formula of milk powder belongs to the old formula of China in 1980s. Later, they bought the milk powder production equipment eliminated by Yili, and there was a turning point. Milk powder is sweet, which makes the baby swollen easily. It belongs to low-grade milk powder, and the price is relatively cheap. Mainly for the rural market in China.
If your friend wants to eat domestic milk powder, you can recommend her to wear golden Yili. Yili's milk source has its own pasture in China. Cows really grow up eating grass, not all the feed. Yili does not have its own research and development strength in equipment and technology, but they cooperate with Topfield in Europe and use their equipment and technology for production, so the gap between milk powder and international advanced milk powder is not too big. It should be the best milk powder produced in our own country
Wyeth, 12
Wyeth has many factories. The quality of milk powder is already very good.
In fact, there are only four brands of milk powder sold in the United States. Unlike China, where there are so many brands, there are countless small manufacturers that are produced in batches and not in batches. The largest market share of American milk powder is Mead Johnson.
Personally, I think the milk powder consumption market in China is immature and chaotic.
Not all domestic milk powder ingredients are relatively backward, which is related to the enterprise itself. Nestle, for example, has the same formula all over the world, but in order to reduce costs, it chooses local milk sources. It doesn't matter whether you are behind or not. There is mad cow disease in Europe. China's milk has antibiotic residues, while New Zealand's milk has genetically modified ingredients. Who is good and who is bad is inconclusive.
Every enterprise is constantly changing the specific formula of milk powder. Mothers just need to pay more attention to themselves. My way is to choose the formula of large enterprises, have a standardized milk source base and have responsible corporate behavior. You can choose milk powder from these manufacturers.
15, Yashili
Most of Yashili's milk powder has problems. At least their milk powder packaging, their supply requirements are, what kind of food plastic to use, use imported medical waste plastic, and the cost of a packaging bag has dropped from more than one piece to ten cents. . . You see, such an irresponsible private enterprise.
Although many news reports are constantly reporting the problems of many foreign brands of milk powder, these news reports all say that these enterprises are asking for the recall of the problem milk powder.
There are also many problems with milk powder in China, but there are no loopholes in this country's strict milk powder standards, and there are no loopholes in the powerful milk powder production supervision units (I don't slander the government, the food production supervision in China is really chaotic, otherwise there would be no big-headed doll incident). When something goes wrong, most enterprises choose to buy off the news media and management with money. So many mothers who eat domestic milk powder should not comfort themselves. The milk powder they eat has never had a problem. There is a problem, but the news media didn't report it, or there is a problem. As ordinary consumers, we simply don't know.
Spring belongs to the sh incarnation family. If you have different opinions, feel free to look around. Don't have the idea of destroying any brand of milk powder!
