What exactly is propylene glycol? Is it really toxic?

Will the baby drink this milk, will it be harmful to the body? Can you drink it?

In response to this incident, we invited food engineering and safety experts, as well as senior nutritionists to interpret it.

What is propylene glycol?

Is it harmful to the body?

Pateyl alcohol is a food additive allowed by the state, which can be used in limited editions in the humid noodle products and pastries, with 1.5 g/kg and 3 g/kg, respectively.

At the same time, propylene glycol is also a synthetic spice that allows used, and many flavors are also used as solvents.

Some media call it low toxic additives, which is not rigorous.

The use of propylene glycol is approved as a food additive, which has passed a wide range of safety assessment. As long as it is used for regulatory intake, it will not harm to health even if long -term consumption.

Polyol can be used

Why is Metro Milk exposed?

The main reasons for being tested and exposed are that no additives should not be added to pure milk, but if it is modulated milk, there can be additives, which also includes propylene glycol.

The product exposed this time was pure milk, and the detected propylene glycol was problematic.

As for the source of these propylene glycols, most netizens tend to think that the manufacturers secretly add fragrance to improve the flavor, but the fragrance spice is not allowed in pure milk.

In this case, it is usually not a small amount of products or individual batches, but the same products will be detected. As long as other batches of products are detected, it can be determined.

This is not difficult to determine through investigation, and we can wait for the official test results.

The baby has drank this problem milk

Do you need to worry?

Parents do not need to be too anxious. Even if the child has already drank, it will not hurt health.

The standard dose standards formulated by the International Food Additives Joint Experts (JECFA) are: The intake of each kilo weight per day does not exceed 25 mg per day.

Picture source: reference literature

We use a 1 -year -old baby to give an example. Based on the average weight of about 10.0 kg, the daily poisoning dose of propylene glycol is more than 0.25 g.

The propylene glycol content exposed this time is 0.32 g/kg, which is converted. If a baby weighs 10.0 kg, a baby with 10 kg to reach the dose of poisoning, at least 758 ml milk every day, which is one time. Drink enough 3.8 boxes.

Generally speaking, the baby is difficult to drink enough a day. The larger child with a larger weight is larger, and the possibility of poisoning is less likely.

It is meaningless to put aside dosage and toxicity.

There is also this milk at home

Can you drink it for your child?

not recommend.

Although it is said that drinking it is not harmful to health, it is still a unqualified product. For parents who have already purchased McWell Milk, it is also recommended that you do not drink it for your child, you can contact the brand to return.

The brand has also promised unconditional return.

How to choose for your baby

Reliable pure milk?

This incident is a food safety incident. In addition to we can pay more attention to these food safety news, and try to avoid buying products on the list, the nutritionist also gives two suggestions:

1. Be sure to buy on reliable formal channels;

2. Milk as a baby's daily food, you can usually choose a few more brands to change;

How to choose everyday?

Look at the ingredient list:

The shorter the ingredients, the better, the ingredients of pure milk should only be raw milk. If some additional calcium, vitamin D, immunoglobulin, milk iron protein and other active nutrients can also be selected (but this is a modulation milk).

Look at nutritional ingredients:

Preferably high calcium content, the general pure milk calcium content is about 100 mg / 100 ml, and more than 120 mg / 100ml can be called high calcium pure milk.

According to national standards, the protein content of pure milk is ≥ 2.9 g /100 ml. Those who are lower than 2.9 g do not belong to pure milk. It is not recommended to drink it for children. For children with high protein foods such as meat poultry and egg beans in the diet, comprehensive consideration of the protein content of most pure milk on the market, preferentially recommend protein ≥ 3.2g / 100 ml.

The content of carbohydrates should be about 5 g / 100 ml. The carbohydrates in milk are mainly lactose. The content is about 5 g, and it generally does not exceed 6 g.

Finally, I want to remind everyone that when choosing milk for the baby, pay more attention to nutritional ingredients. Do not pursue the taste too much.references
