A dairy product is made not from whole natural milk, but using dairy raw materials, the so-called milk powder. Many manufacturers sell dairy drinks under the guise of a natural product, which is contrary to the law.
Most consumers of dairy products have long ceased to believe that they are natural, they constantly complain about its quality, but stubbornly continue to buy low quality milk, sour cream more like cream and kefir, which breaks down into grains. In fact, it is very easy to distinguish natural milk from its substitute.
According to the requirement of the regulation, a dairy product (drink) is one that is made on the basis of dry milk powder or cream. The manufacturer has no right to indicate on the packaging that it is natural, thereby increasing its value. However, many go to such violations, trying to maintain the amount of manufactured products with a lack of raw materials or to increase its production.
How to distinguish natural milk from powdered milk
Before buying a bag or bottle of milk, you need to carefully study all the information that is on the label. First of all, you need to pay attention to the shelf life of the drink, because if it is more than 7 days, then this indicates its unnatural origin and the presence of preservatives and stabilizers in it. Natural milk cannot be stored for more than 5 days, even if it is well boiled or sterilized, and this is known to any person, and from childhood.
After the purchase, the contents of the package must be poured into a container made of transparent material and after a few hours check whether the cream has settled on its surface. If this did not happen, then milk made from powder was bought under the guise of natural milk and it is better to refuse the goods of this manufacturer.
You can also check the quality of milk with table vinegar. The fact is that when making a drink from a powder, baking soda is used, which will sizzle when in contact with vinegar essence, and in any concentration.
And another indicator of quality and origin is price. Natural milk cannot be cheap, low cost is an indicator that cheap non-natural substances have been used to make it.
Why is unnatural milk dangerous?
Unlike natural milk, a powder product contains many additional substances that stabilize its taste, fat content, texture and even color. Not all of them are equally useful for the human body, and many of them are simply dangerous and can cause not only severe allergic reactions, but also food poisoning, which are often fatal.
Sometimes the manufacturer does not indicate the amount of certain substances on the label, underestimates their performance, which is also very dangerous. That is why it is recommended to give preference to natural milk and be careful when choosing such products.
