Regarding the recent revelation on the Internet that the milk of a certain dairy company contains cow urine, Song Kungang, chairman of the China Dairy Association, said that he personally believes that this matter is impossible to happen. He believes that it is difficult for milk added with cow urine to pass the inspection of dairy plants. Moreover, the current price paid by dairy companies is based on the quality of dry matter contained in the milk, so adding cow urine will not bring any economic benefits. .com

Regarding the recent revelation on the Internet that cow urine is added to Mengniu milk, Song Kungang, chairman of the China Dairy Industry Association, said that he personally believes that this matter is impossible to happen. Mitbbs.com Song Kungang said that at present, the production process of dairy companies all adopts centralized mechanized milking and directly enters the milk tank; during the process of transporting the milk to the factory, the milk tank must be sealed with a lead to prevent human manipulation on the way. After the raw milk arrives at the factory, it has to go through two procedures. The first is a sensory inspection, which has to pass the milk collector's tongue. The second procedure is to get on the machine and use the machine to test the ingredients inside. If you add cow urine to milk, it will be difficult to pass these two tests. Mitbbs.com Song Kungang said that from an economic point of view, it is difficult to justify adding cow urine to milk. At present, the price paid by dairy companies for milk is based on the quality of dry matter contained in the milk. The so-called dry matter is the fat, protein, carbohydrate, minerals and other substances left after the water in the milk has been evaporated. Cow urine does not contain these basic ingredients, so it does not gain much economic benefit.

It is understood that the Mengniu Dairy Luannan Co., Ltd. exposed on the Internet was established in 2003 and officially put into production in 2004. It currently has more than 120 pastures and pasture-based communities. When reporters asked the company for confirmation about the addition of cow urine to milk, the company denied that such incidents had never occurred before or since 2008. Mitbbs.com

News Links Mitbbs.com Mengniu denies the addition of cow urine to milk. The whistleblower said it happened before 2008. Mitbbs.com Mengniu Dairy issued an official Weibo statement at noon on May 24, stating that Mengniu uses centralized mechanized milking, and this process is fully closed and there is no possibility of adding foreign matter. At the same time, Mengniu will test the taste, smell, nearly 20 physical and chemical indicators, and more than 40 safety indicators of the raw milk. Only those that pass the test can enter the factory. If the milk fails the test, Mengniu will reject all milk. Mitbbs.com In response to the revelation by some netizens, experts said it is now impossible to pass the test. Mitbbs.com According to China Broadcasting Network, recently, it was exposed on the Internet that Mengniu added cow urine, and Chinese milk has once again fallen into the quality gate. Mengniu, a well-known Chinese milk brand, was exposed by netizens on Weibo that profit-driven dairy farmers would add cow urine to milk because adding water would dilute the milk. Mengniu responded that adding cow urine is impossible and is purely a rumor. Mitbbs.com After Mengniu changed its leadership, there was another quality crisis. Netizen "Lianluo Tuosu" recently posted on Weibo and broke the news: "In a county in my hometown in Hebei Province, a large number of dairy cows were raised in rural areas before 2008. Driven by profit, many farmers directly added large amounts of cow urine to the milk, such as If it is mixed with water, the milk will be diluted and it will fail the inspection. If it is mixed with "cow urine", it will not be diluted and it will pass the test. How can cow urine milk avoid inspection? Because the company's inspection is not strict, this revelation by netizens has attracted widespread attention. Mitbbs.com In this regard, dairy industry experts said that it is impossible for raw milk adulterated with cow urine to pass the testing of large companies. Li Xingfeng, director and youth member of the China Society of Food Science and Technology, said: First, from a technical point of view, large domestic dairy companies such as Mengniu currently obtain raw milk through breeding communities and large-scale pastures. They all adopt a mechanized centralized milking model. There is no longer a situation where manual milking is carried out and then sent to the company. During the milk collection process, there are strict inspections. In addition, cow urine and other non-milk additives are safety indicators and must be inspected. Therefore, companies can easily detect urine adulteration. Secondly, from a cost perspective, many national agencies, including the Ministry of Health, are now cracking down on counterfeiting and adulteration. The cost for companies to adulterate or allow adulteration is very high, and it is impossible to pass inspections by relevant national units. Mitbbs.com Li Xingfeng told reporters: The practice of mixing cow urine did appear more than ten or twenty years ago when China's dairy industry just started. However, with the improvement of enterprise detection methods, this method is easy to detect in terms of smell and senses, so it was almost eliminated very early. For regular enterprises, this situation can be said to be "impossible. Except for large enterprises, even small enterprises will not do this"! Mitbbs.com Challenge Mitbbs.com Mengniu: The milking process is completely closed and there is no possibility of adding anything. Mitbbs.com Netizen: I'm talking about things before 2008. Mitbbs.com Mengniu Dairy issued an official Weibo statement at noon on May 24, saying that all Mengniu milking is centralized and mechanized, and the process is completely closed and there is no possibility of adding foreign matter. At the same time, Mengniu will taste the raw milk, nearly 20 physical and chemical indicators, and more than 40 safety indicators. Only those that pass the test can be entered into the factory. All milk that fails the test will be rejected by Mengniu. It is understood that Mengniu collects about 8,000 tons of raw milk every day from pastures and pasture-based communities, and a small amount of other raw milk comes from dairy farmers. All dairy farmers contracted by Mengniu have unified access requirements for cooperative milking stations, and all milking is mechanized. Mengniu Group also stated in a previous interview with the media that the company is doing its best to help dairy farmers gradually transform into pasture communities and cancel the milk supply model at milk stations. An hour and a half after Mengniu issued its official Weibo statement, the netizen who first tweeted about "raw milk mixed with cow urine" also posted a reply on Weibo: "You don't need to fan it out if it's a rumor, but you can't fan it out if it's not a rumor!" @Shijisheng said on Weibo: "I'm talking about things before 2008. This situation can be corrected." Go to the local area to visit and investigate, and ask the dairy farmers about what happened before 2008! Now you have fixed milk stations and breeding sites, as well as strict inspection mechanisms and methods for raw milk entering the factory. This is very good. I hope you will truly take responsibility for the health of the Chinese people and strengthen our already scarred nation!" Mitbbs.com
