When the store used rumors to promote reporters to consult with consumers, the customer service exhibited to the reporter a “Opinion on further strengthening the quality and safety of formula milk powder for infants and young children” jointly issued by 9 ministries and commissions, and informed that it was estimated that they could not sell imported milk powder. The reporter saw the article published in the shop, suggesting in text and image form that purchasing powdered milk overseas would be banned from September.

In addition to the sellers mentioned above, the reporter saw two other online stores discounting their sales under the name “Doomsday Promotion”. The price reduction ranged from RMB 10 to RMB 25.

Online purchasing price stability According to the reporter, there are two main channels for domestic mothers to purchase overseas milk powder. One is to purchase domestic stocks or overseas mail orders directly through overseas purchasing companies, and the other is to purchase them on overseas e-commerce sites through transit. The company mailed back home.

In this regard, milk powder purchasing business and mothers are mostly calm, the reporter asked a number of Dutch, German and Australian milk powder purchasing business, all said they did not receive a notice prohibiting purchasing. A Crown-class Dutch milk powder purchasing company said: “We haven’t received any news in this area yet, and it’s not good to give advice to our peers. Whether this news is true or not, you can judge for yourself.” The reporter also did not see the relevant information on other business pages. Tips, online milk purchasing price stability, no surge.

According to the original procedures, the customs clearance of domestic mothers who have experienced the restrictions on Hong Kong shopping malls and supermarkets in the Netherlands, New Zealand and other places, prohibits the overseas purchase of milk powder rumors more like a catch-up.

At the same time, the reporter also learned from the Guangzhou Customs that the customs department had not received a notice and that everything was still in accordance with the original procedures for customs clearance inspection.

Origins of rumors:

Chinese label printing regulations According to the reporter’s understanding, the appearance of the rumors was mainly after the NGF forwarded the “Opinions on Further Strengthening the Quality and Safety of Infant Formula Milk Powder” in June. Among them, the imported milk powder mentions “imported infants and young children”. The Chinese label for powdered milk must be printed directly on the minimum sales package before entering the country and shall not be posted on the territory. Products that are not labelled in Chinese must be returned or destroyed."

The most important issue for overseas purchasing milk powder families is the "Chinese logo label." As the "Opinions" stated that "direct printing on the minimum sales package" can be imported, or directly returned or destroyed, and foreign milk powder and no Chinese label logo printed on the package, can not help but worry about whether to buy milk powder overseas It will be returned or destroyed at customs. In this regard, the customs staff informed that at present there are no rules introduced, so it is still checked in accordance with the past, and if there are new changes, it must be notified by the General Administration of Customs.

Industry insiders frankly stated that if the “Opinions” can only be checked against large-scale trade inspections, inspections involving personal shipments and postal items are difficult in practical operation and the workload is too great to check whether there is Chinese one by one. Label identification. Taobao purchasing business also said that the purchase of milk powder overseas is mostly sent back to China in the name of personal use. If you are concerned, you should prepare several personal addresses in case you need it.

Origins of rumors:

The pharmacy counter sales regulations triggered another reason for prohibiting the purchase of overseas milk powder rumors as mentioned in the “Opinions” of “the sales of infant formula milk powder counters and trial pharmacy counter sales”. However, the reporter discovered yesterday that some pharmacies in Guangzhou have already sold milk powder. In the middle of the People's Road Children's Hospital opposite a chain of pharmacies, entering the right hand side of the shop is a milk powder counter. In addition, there is also a pharmacy selling milk powder on the commercial street near Hengbao Square.

However, according to the reporter's observation, compared with the “pharmacy milk powder merchants” that are widely seen in Hong Kong, there are not many pharmacies selling milk powder in Guangzhou, and the varieties are relatively single, mostly Wyeth, Synbiotics and other brands, and it is not that consumers buy milk powder. The main channel, the reporters yesterday interviewed 10 random mothers are "to the supermarket near the residential procurement and regular overseas purchasing, Hong Kong with goods" match.

The city milk association chief said that there are no major differences in the price components of the same brand. Last week, the National Development and Reform Commission price supervision and the Anti-Monopoly Bureau launched a survey on milk powder, and many milk powder manufacturers, especially foreign brands, have become targets of investigation. A few days ago, the president of Guangzhou Dairy Milk and deputy director of the Guangzhou Dairy Management Office Wang Dingmeng bluntly stated that "China's infant formula milk powder is currently the world's most expensive" when it was sponsored by the Guangzhou Science and Technology Association and the newspaper. .

Feeding children to spend a month or two on the forum yesterday, talking about the price of infant formula, Wang Ding cotton bluntly: China's infant milk powder has now become the world's most expensive milk powder! "Foreign brands of milk powder used to be 300 yuan a can. Now there are 400 yuan and 500 cans. Feeding children will cost one or two thousand yuan a month. Expenditure is too heavy."

A few months ago, Wang Ding cotton surveyed infant milk powder prices in more than 20 countries. He found that the same brand, the same weight of a can of infant milk powder, the average price in many countries is about 120 yuan, while in China at least 250 yuan. "Cambodian milk powder costs 90 yuan a can, South Korea 110 yuan, Japan 150 yuan. For most countries, we buy a can of milk powder at the same price they buy two cans."

Foreign milk powder is 85 yuan to the hand and nearly 300 yuan. Why did the Chinese milk powder become the most expensive in the world? Wang Dingmian said that this is due to too many intermediate links. According to its understanding, a can of 900 grams of infant formula milk powder is only 85 yuan for the "CIF", and nearly 300 yuan for consumers to buy in the mall.

“Foreign milk powder has arrived in China, with a Chinese general agent and total distribution; in South China, there are also agents, distributions, and downstairs, to the mall, as well as entry fees, shelves fees, pile fees, subsidies for milk powder promoters, etc. Every link needs to make money, and eventually it becomes a high price.” Wang Dingmian said that foreign milk powder prices are low. Apart from the government subsidies and other factors, the main reason is that manufacturers and businesses directly dock, there is no intermediate link or only one.

Wang Dingmian also said: "Whether it is a domestic brand or a foreign brand, as long as it is the same brand, the difference in product composition between different price points is very small, and different pricing is just trying to attract people at different levels of consumption."

Wang Dingmian also said that infant formula milk powder accounts for about 50% to 60%. About 30% to 40% are whey powder. If whey powder is not properly desalted, it will cause great harm to your baby. The other ingredient is lactose, which makes it easy for a child to eat puffiness. Therefore, milk powder is best not to become a child's "staple food" and breastfeeding should be as far as possible.

The price of adult milk is also high. Wang Dingmian said that during the Spring Festival survey, he discovered that the “adult milk” market in Guangzhou began to be seized by “young milk”. “At the beginning of January, there were 33 brands of milk in 28 countries in Guangzhou. Compared with before, the speed and quantity of foreign milk were surprising to me.” He said that before the melamine incident four years ago, only 1 to 2 of the country’s milk Brands. A friend of hiss started to make Australian milk in 2011. At that time, there were only 6 containers and 80 containers have been made.

The price of adult milk is also high. "1000ml milk, local products 8 to 12 yuan, the most expensive 15 yuan, while the milk sold to 30 yuan. The milk is expensive to sell is mainly high risk, long-term transport results in limited shelf life. If you increase prices, even small sales Some can also earn back costs."
