As an important source of nutrition for infants and young children, the safety of milk powder has always been the focus of parents' attention. In the production process of milk powder, defoamers are sometimes added to reduce the foam produced during brewing. However, there is extensive discussion in all walks of life about the safety of defoamers in milk powder.
As a food additive, defoamers are approved for use in my country. It is mainly used to improve the mixing effect of food, prevent excessive oxidation and loss of nutrients during mixing, and improve the taste of food. However, the use of defoamers in infant formula milk powder is strictly prohibited. This is because the digestive system of infants and young children is relatively fragile and highly sensitive to chemicals. Even if defoamers are considered safe in adult foods, their use in infant milk powder may still bring potential risks.
The production of infant formula milk powder has strict quality standards and regulatory requirements. In order to protect the health of infants and young children, milk powder companies should strictly abide by relevant regulations and not add any prohibited additives, including defoamers. When choosing milk powder, parents should also carefully check the product ingredient list to ensure that the selected milk powder does not contain prohibited ingredients such as defoaming agents.
In addition, it is worth noting that the amount of foam produced when milk powder is brewed does not directly reflect the quality of milk powder. Nutrients such as milk protein are surface active and easily form foam during the brewing process, which is a normal physical phenomenon. Therefore, parents do not need to worry too much about the foam problem when brewing milk powder, but should pay more attention to the nutritional content and safety of milk powder.
In short, the safety of defoaming agents in milk powder is controversial, especially in infant formula milk powder, which should be strictly prohibited. Parents should choose regular brands and reliable quality milk powder to escort the healthy growth of their babies.
