广东省市场监管局发布乳制品消费提示 液体乳与含乳饮料易被混淆

Core Viewpoint - The Guangdong Provincial Market Supervision Administration has issued a consumer reminder to help consumers select safe and high-quality dairy products, highlighting potential risks associated with dairy product production, transportation, and storage [1][2]. Group 1: Dairy Product Categories - Dairy products include liquid milk, milk powder, and other dairy products. Liquid milk is categorized into pasteurized milk, high-temperature sterilized milk, modified milk, sterilized milk, and fermented milk. Milk powder includes whole milk powder, skimmed milk powder, partially skimmed milk powder, modified milk powder, and whey powder. Other dairy products consist of condensed milk, cream, anhydrous milk fat, reconstituted cheese, specialty dairy products, and concentrated milk [1]. Group 2: Safety Risks - Dairy products are susceptible to microbial contamination during production, transportation, or storage, which may indicate issues such as contaminated raw materials or packaging, inadequate hygiene control during production, poor sanitary conditions, unsealed packaging, and non-compliant storage and transportation conditions. There are also risks of excessive use of food additives, such as propylene glycol and sodium dehydroacetate [1]. - Additional risks include veterinary drug residues, adulteration, and the use of cheap animal milk to replace cow's milk, which can lead to illegal additions of melamine to increase protein content, as well as risks of raw material adulteration and cross-contamination during co-production [1]. Group 3: Consumer Guidance - The Guangdong Provincial Market Supervision Administration advises consumers to check labels, packaging, product names and standards, ingredient lists, nutritional composition, food production licenses, and recommendations for special populations when purchasing dairy products [1]. Group 4: Liquid Milk vs. Dairy Beverages - Liquid milk and dairy beverages are often confused by consumers. The ingredient list for liquid milk typically includes "raw cow's milk" or "fresh milk," while dairy beverages contain water, sweeteners, and other ingredients, with water usually listed first. The protein content in liquid milk is generally higher than 2.3g/100g, while dairy beverages typically have a protein content above 0.7g/100g [2].
