Today I saw a private message from someone consulting: Abbott 1 milk powder was fined for “contaminating” vanillin.
What do you think? I searched the Internet and found that "vanillin" was detected during random inspections, but the content was very low
.
The official investigation concluded that "food safety risks are extremely low
.
" So, what should I do, this melon is not tasty at all

How did the "pollution" of vanillin happen and why is it "extremely low risk"?
1.
Why is vanillin not added to the first-stage milk powder?
Why is vanillin not added to the first-stage milk powder?
Vanillin is a natural flavor extracted from vanilla bean pods.
It can be synthesized artificially and is commonly found in foods such as ice cream, cakes, and chocolate
.
China's national standards stipulate that vanillin can not be added to the first stage milk powder (other spices are not acceptable), and vanillin can be added to the second stage and above

.
In fact, the main reason for not allowing the increase in the first stage is not unsafe, but because of the taste
.
It is best for babies from 0 to 6 months to breastfeed exclusively.
However, some novice mothers have insufficient milk or need to stop breastfeeding due to diseases and other special reasons.
At this time, milk powder is required

.
If the milk powder is added with vanillin, it may in turn cause the baby to not adapt to the taste of breast milk, and then weaned the breast milk
.
After 6 months, babies gradually add various flavors of complementary foods, and it is not necessary to strictly limit the flavor of milk powder, so more than 2 stages can be added

The management of vanillin in foreign countries is different from ours.
For example, the United States and Europe do not have clear restrictions on vanillin, and companies decide whether to add it or not.
Of course, most products do not add it

But there are no surprises in the world.
For example, the first-stage infant milk powder of Dubai's local version can be added with vanillin
.
The added amount is 380 mg per kilogram, which is close to China's limit for the addition of 2-stage milk powder vanillin

Will vanillin affect my baby's health?
Will vanillin affect my baby's health?
Vanillin is very safe, and "detected" does not mean a safety issue
.
Let me make a simple calculation: the international evaluation of the safe dose of vanillin is that it is safe to not exceed 10 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, which is 30 mg per day for a newborn weighing 3 kilograms

.
The content of vanillin in the milk powder is less than 0.
2 ppm
.
Even if a newborn drinks 500 ml of milk a day, the equivalent is 0.
013 mg (milk powder is 1:8), which is more than 2,000 times away from the conservative theoretical safe dose, so it is said that "the risk is extremely low
.

Is the "detected" vanillin "added"?
Is the "detected" vanillin "added"?
According to the national standard, the maximum use amount of vanillin in milk powder of stage 2 or above is 400ppm
.
0.
2ppm of vanillin is not enough to affect the taste of milk powder.
Wouldn't it be unnecessary to add it? Therefore, the vanillin of the 1st milk powder cannot be added deliberately

.
The official investigation concluded that it was not cleaned up when switching between different products
.
This is like going to a Hunan restaurant to eat.
You tell the waiter "Don't put chili", but the dish still has a spicy taste because the pot is spicy
.
Milk powder production lines tend to intensively produce multiple products to improve equipment efficiency
.
There are not only segments 1 and 2 and 3, but there may also be products for other countries' markets
.
This is the case with Abbott's Irish factory .

If the two products are very different, the company needs to disassemble the equipment and clean it thoroughly to avoid product confusion
.
However, if the product difference is not significant, the common practice is to "flush" the pipeline with a clean base powder
.
This method is faster to switch, avoids the risk of external pollution from disassembling the pipeline, and also avoids additional disinfectant residues.
The disadvantage is that it is difficult to achieve 100%, and vanillin is brought in in this way

What kind of "problem" is this?
What kind of "problem" is this?
When checking the information, it was unexpectedly discovered that the Beijing Municipal Market Supervision Bureau had announced similar issues at the end of last year
.
That time it was Xibao, and the unqualified item was also vanillin.
The judgment result was "the inspection found that vanillin did not meet the national food safety standards
.
" This is actually a commonplace question
.
The national standard for food additives (GB 2760) is the "use standard", which stipulates how to use additives
.
It has never stipulated that the first-stage milk powder "must not be detected" with vanillin, nor has it stipulated that "violation of use" can be determined by "detection"
.

How to determine if vanillin is detected in the first stage milk powder? The requirements of the Chinese regulatory authorities for infant milk powder manufacturers are to clear and record the site when switching products.
This is the same as foreign management methods, but there is no clear regulation on how to clear the site

The indicator of vanillin is not measured in foreign countries, and the quality of infant formula milk powder in China is tighter than that in foreign countries, so this "problem" was discovered
.
As for the number of detections, the clearing of the field is not thorough, then the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wisdom
.
However, if it is judged by "not detectable", it is actually not reasonable

In the final analysis, for companies, it is still necessary to find ways to improve the production process, production equipment, production plan, etc.
, to reduce as much as possible the intersection of different batches of products
.
For mothers who have already bought and fed, there is no need to be nervous
.
You just have to drink some Dubai local milk powder with insufficient vanillin
