State Administration for Market Regulation: Keep in mind the "four requirements and two prohibitions" when choosing infant formula milk powder

2025-08-06   

Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a warning of "four musts and two don'ts", reminding consumers to choose infant formula milk powder scientifically. Breast milk is the most ideal food for infants. When there is insufficient or impossible breastfeeding, infant formula milk powder (hereinafter referred to as "infant formula milk powder") can be used to replace or partially replace breast milk. One must choose a registered product. The product formula approved and registered by the State Administration for Market Regulation complies with China's national food safety standards, and the nutritional components meet the growth and development needs of infants and young children. When making a purchase, please identify the registration number "National Food Registration YP+4-digit year number+4-digit sequential number" on the product label. Secondly, we need to refer to the nutritional composition chart. The nutrition chart indicates the essential ingredients (protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, etc.) and optional ingredients for infants and young children. It is generally presented in the form of a "nutrition chart" on product labels, and parents can choose according to their children's needs. Check the shelf life, storage conditions, and instructions for use. It is recommended to prioritize products with a production date close to the purchase date, paying special attention to the storage method and shelf life after opening, and strictly storing them according to the storage conditions; Feed according to the product instructions (mixing method, feeding table, etc.), and pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the milk spoon, bottle, nipple, etc. It is necessary to distinguish between infant formula milk powder and special medical infant formula food (hereinafter referred to as special medical infant food). Healthy babies do not need to use special medical baby food. Special Medical Infant Food is a special medical formula food designed for infants aged 0-12 months, such as those with food protein allergies and lactose intolerance. It should be used under the guidance of a doctor or clinical nutritionist, and parents can identify it by the product name, registration number "National Food Annotation TY+4-digit year number+4-digit sequence number", and "Little Blue Flower" logo. Do not blindly believe in the "pseudoscience" that misleads infant and toddler feeding. Parents are advised to obtain popular science knowledge from formal channels and not blindly believe in unfounded rumors such as "rice soup can completely replace breast milk and formula for feeding children", which can affect the healthy growth of children. Do not overfeed. The energy and nutritional components of breast milk or infant formula can meet the normal nutritional needs of infants aged 0-6 months. Overfeeding may lead to overweight and obesity in infants and children, and may even extend to childhood and adulthood, increasing the risk of coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and other diseases in adulthood.
