Evaluation of 33 Mead Johnson milk powder models: What is the difference between more than

Milk source

Mead Johnson's national and Hong Kong version milk sources are from the Netherlands, and the American version is from the United States. Relatively speaking, the milk source in the Netherlands is better than that in the United States.

Milk-based raw materials

In terms of raw materials, only the American version uses fresh milk - skimmed milk, while the Chinese version of Qinshu 1 and 2 uses partially hydrolyzed milk protein. Other milk powders use skim/whole milk powder, which is slightly less fresh than skim milk.

In addition, Mead Johnson's grades 3 and above have added flavors. Although there are no safety concerns, they will aggravate the baby's taste and easily cause the baby to be partial to food or find it difficult to accept light milk powder. This is a points deduction. item. The specific situation is as shown below.

3. Comparison of basic nutrition

Basic nutrition is the basic ingredients necessary for the growth and development of infants and young children. National food safety standards require that infant formula milk powder should include several basic nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals.

Stupid Dad used my country's "National Standard for Infant Formulas" as a criterion to compare the basic nutritional status of several Mead Johnson milk powders.

Carbohydrates

Chinese national standards stipulate that the carbohydrate content of infant formula milk powder in the first segment should be within the range of 2.2-3.3g/100KJ, while other segments are not specified. Regulation. The carbohydrate content of each version of Mead Johnson milk powder is as follows.

In milk powder, lactose is the best source of carbohydrates for babies (Unless the baby is lactose intolerant), especially milk powder in stages 1 and 2, followed by maltodextrin, starch, corn syrup solids or sucrose, etc.

The specific addition of glucose polymer in each version of Mead Johnson milk powder is as follows. It should be noted in particular that the Qinshu series belongs to hydrolyzed milk powder. Hydrolyzed milk powder is mainly aimed at babies with milk protein allergies and is not suitable for non-allergic babies.

Summary:

①The carbohydrate content of all versions of Mead Johnson milk powder meets China's national standards.

②Except for the US version of Stage 1, all other Mead Johnson milk powders have corn syrup solids added, and most of Stage 3 and above also add sucrose, which reduces the nutritional value of the milk powder and is a deduction. item.

Fat

Chinese national standards stipulate that the fat content of infant formula milk powder in stage 1 should be within the range of 1.05-1.4g/100KJ, and the fat content in stages 2 and 3 should be within 0.7 -1.4g/100KJ range. The fat content of each version of Mead Johnson milk powder is as follows.

Summary:

①Mead Johnson's various versions of milk powder The fat content is in line with China’s national standards.

②National Bank version of the full series of 1 paragraph, Anerbao A+4, 5 paragraphs, Qinshu 2 and 3 paragraphs and Hong Kong version of the full series of paragraphs, with the addition of α-linen Acid, which is a fatty acid that helps improve the baby's intelligence and protect the cardiovascular system, is a bonus.

③ National version of Lanzhen Full Section, Hong Kong version of Pure Platinum Full Section, Lanzhen Full Section and American version of Lanzhen 1 Section, additionally added MFGM derived from natural milk CreamyThe ball membrane helps improve the baby's cognitive development and is a bonus.

Protein

Chinese national standards stipulate that the protein content of infant formula milk powder in stage 1 should be within the range of 0.45-0.7g/100KJ, and the protein content in stages 2 and 3 should be within 0.7 -1.2g/100KJ range. The protein content of each version of Mead Johnson milk powder is as follows.

Summary:

①Mead Johnson US Edition Gold The protein content of the Premium 2 segment of the bottle and the 2 segment of the National Bank version of Qinshu is lower than the national standard, while other versions are in line with the Chinese national standard.

② The National Bank version, the Hong Kong version and the American version of the Lanzhen series have additional lactoferrin added. The amount added is relatively high among all milk powders. This is a core of breast milk. Immune protein helps improve the baby's own immunity and promotes the baby's growth and development, which is a bonus.

③ The National Bank version and the Hong Kong version of the Qinshu series are aimed at babies with milk protein indigestion or mild milk protein allergies, so partially hydrolyzed milk protein is added, which is a bonus .

Vitamins

Compared with my country's national standards, except for Mead Johnson's US version of Golden Zun Premium 3, which does not contain vitamins K1 and B12, the vitamin content of other versions of milk powder is in line with national standards. .

Minerals

Minerals that do not meet national standards appear in the American versions of Jinzun Premium 1 and Lanzhen 1. The iron content of American milk powder is generally higher than that of The ones in China are all higher. The specific situation is as shown below.

In addition, in the following Mead Johnson milk powders, there are several minerals whose contents are not marked. Since most of them are naturally present in milk-based ingredients, it is not clear whether they are really missing or simply not marked. In this regard, stupid dad will deduct points for them accordingly.

Summary:

①Mead Johnson The vitamin and mineral content of the National Bank version and the Hong Kong version of milk powder both meet China's national standards.

②The American version of Stage 1 milk powder has a high iron content and is not suitable for Chinese babies.

③Most Mead Johnson milk powders of level 3 and above no longer add the mineral selenium. Selenium works together with vitamin E to prevent cancer and protect the liver in babies.

4. Comparison of fortified formulas

Fortified formulas are the "optional ingredients" in the ingredient list of milk powder. Most milk powders except the guaranteed basis In addition to nutrition, some additional fortifying ingredients are added to help the baby's growth and development.

DHA/ARA

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (eicosadonic acid) are good for babies Fatty acids that are very important for intelligence and vision development. my country's national standards stipulate that in infant formula milk powder, the amount of DHA added shall not exceed 0.5% of the total fatty acids, and the amount of ARA added shall not exceed 1% of the total fatty acids.

The DHA/ARA content of each version of Mead Johnson is as follows.

Summary:

①DHA content if ≧0.3%, ≦0.5% (total fat content), or 3.6mg/100kj The above is better for the baby's intelligence and visual development, and stupid dads will get extra points.

From the perspective of DHA/ARA content, Mead Johnson China version and Hong Kong version perform better. The ratio of DHA to ARA in paragraphs 1 and 2 is basically maintained at 1:2. It is close to the ratio of breast milk.

②Except for the Qinshu series, Mead Johnson no longer adds ARA starting from level 3.

③Mead Johnson's US version of milk powder contains DHA and ARA, but since the specific data is not marked on the packaging, it cannot be included in the comparison.

5. Other fortified formulas

Other fortified formulas include: choline, inositol, taurine, L-carnitine and nucleosides Acid, etc., Mead Johnson milk powder containing fortified ingredients all complies with the addition limits of my country's national standards. The specific addition conditions are as follows.

Summary:

① Judging from the overall level of additions of other fortified formulas, Mead Johnson Hong Kong version performs slightly better than the National Bank version a little better.

②Except for the Qinshu series, Mead Johnson's milk powder versions of Stage 2 and above no longer add L-carnitine, an amino acid that promotes the conversion of fat into energy.

③Mead Johnson's versions of level 3 and above and all Qinshu series do not add nucleotides, which is a substance that can enhance the baby's immunity and anti-infection.

④The National Bank version, the Hong Kong version and the American version of the Lanzhen series have additional lactoferrin.

⑥ Since no specific data is marked on the packaging, other fortified formulas of Mead Johnson US version milk powder cannot be included in the comparison.
