    ' bought two boxes of New Zealand imported pure milk online and asked a friend in New Zealand if they could drink it for their children, only to say they had never seen the brand's milk, and I was stunned!Ms. Wu, like all responsible mothers, looked closely at the nutritional content list on the outer packaging and compared the protein, calcium, sodium, carbohydrate content with the domestic milk Trensu, "the content is not bad, I think the child should be able to drink." But for insurance's part, I consulted a friend in New Zealand. New Zealanders often drink pasteurized milk that needs to be refrigerated at low temperatures, according to the other side, and she has never seen it at room temperature for a year. " is unique, German student Jia Wei also noticed that the family for grandparents to buy imported German milk brand, they are also unheard of." I looked up information about several imported milk companies and found that most of the brands' companies and addresses were in China. The only imported milk brand registered in Germany, whose products are not sold in Germany. Ms Jia was puzzled when she called the phone on the milk package and customer service said the brand was indeed registered in Germany, but the product was only sold in China.Industry insiders, this only sold in China imported milk is not uncommon, some people call it "dedicated" milk, "in recent years, the imported food industry fish mixed, imported milk demand is large, we see business opportunities after a swarm of crowded in." In order to reduce costs, many dealers played a small abacisk, registered a foreign brand trademark, and then branded substitutes dedicated to selling to China's warm milk, so that costs have been reduced, profits have also risen. " shelf life of imported milk is so long?"reporters in Zhengzhou Metro supermarket, Dennis Bett boutique supermarket saw that most of the imported milk shelf life is
    9 to 12
    months. Reporters compared with domestic warm milk found that the domestic milk market has a shelf life of
    30
    days of plastic bag packaging warm milk, has a shelf life of
    45
    days of Leer bag of warm milk, the shelf life is longer boxed products, its time is only half of imported warm milk, that is,
    6
    months., why is the shelf life of imported milk so long?a senior imported milk distributor introduced: "First of all, imported milk to go through factory testing, exit testing and customs inspection three procedures, lasted
    2 to 3
    months." Among them, imported milk by sea transport time is generally
    30 to 45
    days. That is to say, a bottle of imported milk with a shelf life of
    12
    months, excluding
    3
    months of testing shipping time, the last
    3
    months of shelf life is not easy to sell the time cost, the golden sales time is only about
    6
    months. Therefore, these are imported milk has to extend the shelf life of an important reason. " reporters in the supermarket found that a lot of imported milk is in the process of promotion." Many consumers like to buy pro-period products, one to think that the quality of imported milk is guaranteed, the pro-period is not hindered, the other is affordable. Bait boutique supermarket imported milk guide said.the long shelf life of imported milk is at the expense of quality what is the quality of milk with a one-year shelf life?in response, the reporter interviewed Mr. Jose, Ph.D. in Spanish food science, he said: "Spain's domestic consumption of raw milk shelf life is mostly
    4
    months, and some enterprises in order to facilitate export, will produce
    5 to 6
    months of products." But milk with a shelf life of one year has not been seen. In theory, ultra-high temperature sterilization technology can produce a shelf life of one year of warm milk, but this is at the expense of milk quality, even if the milk does not go bad, nutrition is lost a lot. Hethat, in general, the physical properties of milk

    from the fourth to the fourth month. For example, protein began to dissipate, oil and water began to separate, milk aroma, flavor, sweetness, taste, color began to decline, bitter taste and unpleasant smell began to rise. Basically, from
    4th
    , the taste of milk changes significantly. In addition to the threat of microorganisms, enzymes in milk are also a major factor in quality., an expert in chinese dairy industry, also said that the vast majority of imported milk is ultra-high temperature sterilized milk, nutrition has been a certain degree of damage. At the same time, many imported milk shelf life of up to one year, far longer than the shelf life of domestic warm milk, which means that the original sterilization when the temperature is higher or longer.experts suggest that consumers should not choose products solely price-oriented when buying imported milk, and second, buy real imported milk from formal sources, beware of "fake foreign milk".
