How to Identify the Authenticity of Baby Formula?

Distinguishing the authenticity of milk powder can be done by observing the packaging design. Generally, good milk powder has good sealing properties, with a plastic cover on the outside and aluminum foil inside, which achieves good water resistance. It can also be judged by feeling the texture. Generally, genuine milk powder has a finer texture, while fake milk powder has a rougher texture.

1. Most parents have handled flour when cooking. When squeezing flour in your hand, it produces a muffled sound. Similarly, this method can be used to identify the authenticity of milk powder. Fake milk powder has relatively rough particles and is mixed with other sugary substances to enhance sweetness, producing a crisp sound when squeezed. Genuine milk powder particles are finer, and the feel and sound when squeezed are closer to flour.

2. Genuine milk powder is generally yellowish in color. In contrast, fake milk powder is produced through cutting corners and tampering with the formula, resulting in a whiter color. Close observation under light may reveal fine crystals resembling sugar.

3. Dissolving milk powder in water can also help in identification. Genuine milk powder dissolves easily in water. When mixed with warm water and stirred with a spoon, it dissolves smoothly. Such milk powder is considered good quality.
