The production of goat milk powder urgently needs "standard guidance"

Recently, the measures for the Registration of Infant Milk Powder (trial) (draft for soliciting opinions) (hereinafter referred to as the "measures") issued by the State Food and Drug Administration, there are also many new regulations on the current "upstart" goat milk powder in the field of infant milk powder. at present, the sheep milk powder industry is still in the initial stage of "barbaric growth" in China, and the confusion in quality, production, management and market sales has been prominent. The introduction of the new management measures will help to guide the healthy development of the industry as soon as possible.

At present, many domestic dairy enterprises are involved in the sheep milk powder market, and there are also a number of sheep milk powder enterprises and brands in the market. However, the chaos in the sheep milk powder market is also worrying. In the first eight months of this year, the State Food and Drug Administration announced two rounds of national special supervision and inspection of infant formula milk powder, and the unqualified rate of goat milk powder was higher than that of other categories. The root cause of the confusion in the sheep milk powder market is that the industry standards and national standards of sheep milk and goat milk powder have not yet been formulated in China.

In the "method", read the "hoop spell" on the goat milk powder within the scope of baby milk powder. According to the draft for soliciting opinions, if the raw material of infant formula milk powder is goat milk (powder), the product name can be marked as infant formula sheep milk powder, and the proportion of sheep milk (powder) per 100g of the product and the source of whey protein powder should be marked in the ingredient list.

The above new rules are proposed to raise the threshold through the measure of "standard concentration". Relevant experts predict that after the implementation of the registration system, about half of these brands will be eliminated. Although the proportion of goat milk products in the whole dairy market is still very low, there is a huge space for development in the future, so there is an urgent need to issue special standards to guide the healthy development of sheep milk industry.
