Fonterra said Song Liang, a dairy researcher at the China business circulation Productivity Promotion Center, said that whey protein powder is a kind of high-quality protein for infants, which is extracted from milk by advanced technology, with small molecule, high absorption and utilization rate Song Liang said that in addition to adding various microelements for infants, an important indicator of infant formula is to be close to breast milk, so the proportion of whey protein and casein from skimmed milk powder and whole milk powder in infant formula is 6:4 For this Botox pollution incident, at present, some domestic dairy companies said that their products did not use the concentrated whey protein powder of New Zealand Fonterra "80% of the bulk raw materials imported from China come from New Zealand, but the imported whey protein powder produced in New Zealand is very small, about 1% - 2% Most of the rest are imported from the United States and EU countries, so the suspension of whey protein import will not have any impact." Song Liang said As for whether the price of infant formula milk powder will rise in the future, some experts believe that domestic enterprises can also choose other enterprises in New Zealand or other countries to import related products The reason for suspending the price rise is not sufficient.
