"We're not going to be in this kind of powdered milk until the new rules are introduced." After the colostrum ban came out, we started cleaning up these products. Now, you're basically not looking for colostrum products. "Reporter Survey" online bovine colostrum milk powder is still hot although the entity shop bovine Colostrum products are less, but more colostrum milk powder or transferred to the network sales, or use of the Ministry of Health this ban only for infant formula Food played a ball, moved to the market of infant and child food products. In the day cat [Micro Bo] Mall search "Colostrum", jumped out of the more than 10 kinds of brand of bovine colostrum powder, colostrum chewing tablets, bovine colostrum calcium, bovine colostrum soft capsules. Search "colostrum, infant milk powder," two key words, jumped out more than 55,000 products, including domestic and foreign brands, such as "Neotrieon colostrum milk powder", "Ya Pui's Colostrum" and so on. From the price, these colostrum milk powder 100 grams price at 200 yuan to 600 yuan. In terms of sales, some of the top brands sold more than 300 a month, is very hot. Online sales of bovine colostrum powder is divided into three kinds, one is bovine colostrum pure powder, claiming to help improve human resistance, there is dredging the intestinal effect. Second, bovine colostrum compound milk powder, said contains immune factors, a variety of nutrients, can improve resistance, protect gastrointestinal, suitable for the elderly, pregnant women, and 3-14-year-old children to eat. When asked whether the two products can be used for infants and toddlers, the salesperson said, "Adult bovine colostrum is for the elderly and patients to use, the baby can not eat, but children colostrum infants eat certainly no problem, the amount of less can be." Depending on the age, the amount of food ranged from 1/2 to 1-2 tablespoons, and the effect of colostrum powder was better. The third is the national ban on Colostrum formula. In an online shop, the reporter saw a specially designed for 0-12 months of infant and toddler design colostrum milk is on sale, buy one get one. Sales call this a ban on the production of surplus, but the shelf life of three years, fully edible. "If it's not a national ban, can we have such a cheap sale?" "There is also a" Australian imported Ya-Pui milk formula ", 900 grams price 248 yuan, suitable for the whole stage of the crowd, that is, suitable for infants and young children to eat. Asked why they were still selling the country's banned colostrum formula, the shopkeeper said he did not know about the ban. Another shopkeeper said, although the commodity labeled as "colostrum milk powder", is in fact also infant supplement, "Our Colostrum powder from 1st this month until now, every day people buy." ”【Experts responded that "infants need doctors to guide the implementation of the ban on colostrum for several months, there are still many parents do not know, some parents even still think that Colostrum is the best nutrition for the enhancement of infant immunity." The Ministry of Health said that the formulation of infant formula Food standards is the first principle of safety, bovine colostrum is not a traditional food, nor is it essential food, the current lack of colostrum as the infant formula food raw materials safety data. Therefore, as early as April 2012, the Ministry of Health Telex Aqsiq on imports of bovine colostrum products suitable for the standard question, said, "Infant formula food must not add bovine colostrum and colostrum as raw materials for the production of dairy products." August 13, the Ministry of Health authorities further expressly prohibited the use of bovine colostrum range, that is, infant formula, including infant formula, larger infant and child formula food, special medical use of infant formula food these three categories of food, and stressed that this request will be implemented from September 1, 2012. Of course, the Ministry of Health ban does not mean colostrum can not be eaten, but it is best to eat colostrum under the strict guidance of doctors to ensure that children do need and physical permission, so consumers should be careful to eat. For the above explanation, there are consumers questioned, formula milk only added some colostrum on the ban, the harm of pure powder is not greater? Businesses are playing "edge", in the name of auxiliary food sales, misleading consumers. Reporters from the Shanghai entry-Exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau learned that foreign imports of milk powder and dairy products are also strictly in accordance with the new rules, but online sales of some products may be through overseas purchasing and other private channels into domestic sales. National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center related experts Han Junhua told reporters that the new rules only for the above three types of formula food, and rice noodles, fruits and vegetables, cheese and other products are not part of the above three categories, including infant formula for the 0月-June, the larger infant and child formula food is for the June-3 June, Other foods, including the Chinese have been approved by the bovine colostrum health food can refer to the relevant regulations. [RELATED LINKS] The so-called bovine colostrum refers to the normal feeding, no infectious disease and mastitis of healthy cows, 7 days after delivery of milk output. This milk protein ratio is much higher than normal milk, and thus is packaged as "more nutritious". But experts say, milk cows within 7 days after birth is a physiological abnormal milk, not the higher the nutritional content, the child eat the more favorable. The nutritional ratio of bovine colostrum is not suitable for infants. At the same time, colostrum can not replace breast milk, breastfeeding is the best, breast milk is not enough can be appropriate to add ordinary formula for auxiliary, milk powder also do not have to deliberately add some ingredient. Therefore, in the case of bovine colostrum used in the study of infant formula food is not clear, consumers should be cautious to purchase.
