Business Club June 27 News Industry has long called for China's dairy standards should be in line with international standards Ministry of Health to respond to the question of dairy national standards

Last Saturday night, the Ministry of Health organized experts to "interpret" the new national standard for dairy products. Experts said that "the purpose of protecting consumers' health" is the first principle of dairy safety standards. Before the principle of "listening opinions from all sides," we responded to the most questioned questions about the total number of colonies and proteins.

After the People's Daily and Xinhua News Agency intervened last week to notice that the new national standard of dairy products did not rise or fall and questioned “whose interests have been safeguarded”, the Ministry of Health, which took the lead to clean up and integrate relevant national standards on Saturday night, finally organized an expert “interpretation”. .

Experts claim that the national standard is a "quasi entry"

The “Note” updated at 22 am on the 25th was mainly “understood” by two experts. Their identities were the deputy director of the Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the head of the Expert Group on Dairy Safety Standards. Wang Zhutian is a researcher and member of the Expert Team on Dairy Safety Standards and Food Quality Supervision and Testing Center of the Ministry of Agriculture (Mongolia), and a senior engineer Professor Meng Wei.

“Notes” quoted Wang Zhutian as saying that the clean-up integration work always adheres to the following principles: one is to protect the health of consumers; the other is related to the state’s relevant industrial policies; and the third is to integrate the current dairy safety-related standards and expand the standard coverage; It adheres to the principle of openness and transparency and actively learns from foreign management experience.

Wang Zhutian said that the “raw milk” standard comprehensively considers factors such as safety, quality, and industry development and is a threshold for raw milk production and acquisition.

The index of colonies is “more stringent” than that of the Ministry of Agriculture

Mencius said that raw milk must be sold before it meets the national standards for dairy products. In 1986, the “Standard for the Acquisition of Fresh Milk” (GB/T 6194-86) formulated by the agricultural sector divided the total number of colonies in raw milk into four grades, ranging from 500,000 to 4 million units per milliliter. The new national standard “summary On the basis of years of experience in acquisition of standards, the total number of colonies will be adjusted from 4 million to 2 million, "should be said to be more stringent."

As for the new national standard, the protein index has been reduced from 2.95 grams per one hundred grams of milk to 2.8 grams. Meng Wei said that the protein content index in the “raw milk” standard is the minimum requirement for the acquisition of raw milk, but the milk product must meet the national standard of the corresponding dairy product. Content regulations can only be listed on the market before sales.

Meng Hao revealed that according to the state of industrial development, the Ministry of Agriculture is embarking on formulating raw milk grading standards and guiding dairy processing companies to rationally use different grades of raw milk to produce differentiated dairy products.

There have been more "interludes" in the new finalization

Since 2008, the Ministry of Health has completed 66 milk standards, including “raw milk”, in one year, and was officially announced last year. Wang Dingmian, chairman of the Guangzhou Dairy Association, said that at that time, the Guangdong Dairy Association organized expert discussions. At that time, they generally reflected that the new standard was backwards in many respects compared with the original national standard.

According to Wang Dianmian's briefing, the content of the new national standard was more “strange” than it is now. For example, pasteurized milk and sterilized milk, which have completely different processing technologies, are combined into a "liquid milk" standard; milk added with exogenous substances is also defined as "pure milk", which equals that of companies in pasteurized milk. The addition of thickeners, emulsifiers, and flavors to sterilized milk is legal.

Wang Dingmian pointed out that at that time, the Guangdong Dairy Association had proposed the re-establishment of a more professional and representative standard revision team to further improve and modify the original national standards, so that our country's dairy standards are in line with international standards.
