Abstract
The work aims to provide a detailed reference for consumers to buy canned infant milk powder at home and abroad according to the analysis on the canning information. The information on nutrition labels, etc. of canned milk powder from different brands and for different periods of age was surveyed and analyzed through network survey and physical store visit. The nutrition label identification rate of 31 brands of canned milk powder from Jingdong M6go Mothercare Mall and the physical stores was 100%, in which the nutrients with higher identification rate included caloric, protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamin (A, D, E, K, C) and mineral (calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc). The protein identification values on American canned milk powder were higher than others, but the identification values of other nutrients had no significant difference. The important nutrient contents on the nutrition labels from different series of the same canned milk powder brand were mostly alike. However, the identification values of canned milk powder nutrient contents from different brands were of large difference. MeadJohnson Nutrition milk powder focused on improving the mental development of infant brain, so the identification values of DHA and ARA were higher (P<0.05); Abbott milk powder focused on enhancing infant body constitution, so its identification values of such mineral contents as calcium, iron and phosphorus were higher (P<0.05); Wyeth milk powder owned higher identification values of lutein content (P<0.05), and it had the identification of natural carotene. Therefore, according to infants and young children's different constitutions, growth stages and habits, consumers can choose the most suitable canned milk powder based on the nutrition labels.
