    I.
    Foreword On February 28, the FDA notified a dairy company of the contamination of Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella in milk powder
    .

    Second, the harm of poisonous milk powder 1.
    Cronobacter even a small amount of Cronobacter can quickly cause discomfort in infants and young children, and then induce serious diseases such as meningitis and sepsis
    .

    2.
    Salmonella Enteric pathogenic bacteria can be divided into Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphoid.
    Different types of Salmonella can cause typhoid, paratyphoid, fever, abdominal pain,
    etc.

    3.
    Reasons for milk powder contamination According to the FDA’s sample inspection, the dairy company’s milk powder factory in Michigan was contaminated with Cronobacter bacteria.
    In combination with the FDA’s report in September last year, the cleaning of workers’ hands and the cleaning of milk powder production equipment and packaging equipment If the maintenance does not meet the standards, it can be speculated that the infection occurs in three links
    .

       1.
    Raw material pollution 10% Milk-based infant formula is a liquid or powdered product that is produced and processed only by physical methods, using milk and milk protein products as the main raw materials, adding appropriate amounts of vitamins, minerals and/or other ingredients.
    , The raw materials used in infant formula, the dairy enterprises have corresponding testing equipment
    .

       The company had previously spontaneously destroyed formula due to contamination, according to the FDA's assessment of the company's internal documents
    .

       2.
    Storage pollution 30% The commonly used raw powder storage tool in dairy enterprises - flexible container bag (ton bag), adopts fiber textile structure, and is easily contaminated during use (such as preventing forklift from puncturing the ton bag, and the ton bag cannot be directly stored in on the ground, etc.
    )
    .

       3.
    60% of pipeline pollution The cleaning of milk powder production equipment does not meet the standards, which means that the CIP cleaning of pipelines does not meet the standards
    .

       According to the relevant standards of China's national food safety standard "Good Manufacturing Practice for Powdered Infant Formula Foods, the inner wall of the equipment in contact with the material should be smooth, flat, free of dead ends, easy to clean and resistant to corrosion, and the inner surface layer should be made of materials that do not react with the material.
    , Materials that do not release particles and do not absorb materials
    .

    ” Now the production equipment of dairy enterprises is of high international level, but the pipes connecting the equipment are still traditionally welded by hand.
    Generally, there are about 30,000 welds on the production line of a large-scale dairy enterprise, which are manually welded.
    Easily affected by personal technology, due to poor weld formation, there will be weld bead dislocation, weld bead surface depression, inner weld bead depression, non-penetration, internal and external protrusions,
    etc.


    When the emulsion and cleaning agent circulate in the pipeline, these unqualified weld beads allow residual and active bacteria to accumulate in the pipeline, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria, and then contaminating the milk powder
    .

       In the report of the 23rd annual meeting of the China Dairy Industry Association, Guo Zhifeng, an expert member of the ASME BPE Association pointed out that "if a dairy factory uses C-grade or substandard pipe fittings, even if the world's best A-grade equipment is used , will the manufactured products be grade A? I am sure that the products manufactured must be grade C products, and many companies tend to ignore the quality problem of the piping system
    .

    ” The whole production line clean upgrade solution Kinglai automatic welding technology Video of automatic welding to eliminate quality blind spots for Chinese dairy products 4.
    The turnaround of domestic milk powder Now that the FDA has exposed such serious milk powder quality and safety issues to "foreign milk powder", can domestic milk powder brands take the opportunity to turn around in one fell swoop? Let's take a look at the advantages of domestic brands first: Strict domestic supervision system In recent years, there have been few negative news about domestic milk powder, because after the melamine incident, China has established a strict supervision system for infant formula milk powder The inspection system of the whole link to the terminal sales, the pass rate of infant formula milk powder sampling has reached 99.
    89%
    .

       Dairy companies' high standard of quality and safety The birth rate of the population has declined, the domestic milk powder market share has shrunk, and the strong position of "foreign milk powder" has intensified the "involution" of the domestic milk powder industry.
    Even far beyond EU standards
    .

       The total bacterial count standard of a certain milk powder is <20,000 CFU/mL, which is stricter than the national standard (<2 million CFU/mL) and the EU standard (<100,000 CFU/mL)
    .

       Another milk powder is even more serious "internal volume", such as the protein content ≥ 3.
    4 (g/100g), the total number of colonies ≤ 5000 (CFU/mL), the number of somatic cells ≤ 150,000 (units/mL)
    .

       However, compared with foreign brands, domestic brands have gaps in word of mouth, brand memory association, cognitive inertia, etc.
    Therefore, the development of domestic milk powder still needs to be prepared for a protracted war
    .

       It is not an overnight success to reverse the brand awareness of domestic milk powder
    .

    From the perspective of domestic dairy industry standards, although dairy companies implement high-standard safety standards, the national new dairy industry safety standards are still relatively low
    .

    For example, the protein content has dropped from 2.
    95 grams per 100 grams to 2.
    8 grams, which is far lower than the standard of more than 3.
    0 grams in developed countries
    .

       In addition, automatic welding is not mandatory
    .

    The production level of domestic dairy enterprises has reached the international level, and many of them have imported high-end production equipment from abroad, but they have not paid enough attention to equipment installation and connection, and still use manual welding
    .

    The manual weld bead is prone to the terrible phenomenon of breeding bacteria
    .

     The bad pipeline environment makes the management of bacteria out of control, and the opportunity cannot be lost.
    In recent years, the overall sense of identity of domestic products has increased.
    Only by improving the quality and quality in multiple directions can the public consumers' confidence in the brand of domestic milk powder be boosted and restored.

    .

       The promotion of domestic milk powder brands naturally requires targeted upgrades
    .

       Kinglai Group provides dairy enterprises with a complete set of pharmaceutical production standard upgrade solutions from process to equipment connection, so as to enhance the core competitiveness of dairy enterprises
    .

       As a global leader in clean materials and equipment, Kinglai Group provides advanced pipe fittings, valves, pumps, pressure vessels, etc.
    Clean equipment and a full range of services, and are widely trusted by the market
    .


    The turnaround of domestic milk powder? The golden monkey made a great effort, and Yuyu clarified Wan Lie
    .

       The change of a dairy company has limited improvement to the entire dairy industry.
    In the era of shrinking domestic infant milk powder market, backed by high-quality dairy products, domestically living up to the expectations of the Chinese people, and externally developing overseas markets, it is the Chinese dairy company.
    s future! As a consumer and a dairy company related personnel, we appeal and look forward to the introduction of domestic high-standard quality standards! Dairy factory with automatic welding construction
