FAQ
1.What is organic milk powder? An organic product is made from organic raw materials. Processed organic food usually contains only organic ingredients. If non-organic ingredients are present, at least a certain percentage of the food’s total plant and animal ingredients must be organic (95% in the United States, Canada, China and Australia). It also requires Organic certification. Organic certification is a certification process for producers of organic food and other organic agricultural products. Requirements vary from country to country and generally involve a set of production standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping.
2.What about claims that organic milk contains no pesticides, antibiotics or hormones? The definition of organic milk refers to farm management practices, not to the milk itself. Stringent government standards ensure that both organic milk and regular milk are wholesome, safe and nutritious. While the organic standard is defined differently in different jurisdictions, organic farming responds to site-specific farming and crop conditions by integrating cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster the cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. Synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers are not allowed, although certain organically approved pesticides may be used under limited conditions. In general, organic foods are also not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives.
3.Does organic milk taste better? Whether it is organically or conventionally produced, the taste of milk can differ slightly on a variety of sensory qualities from bottle to bottle and season to season. Factors that may impact taste include the farm’s location, breed of the cow, variations in cows’ feed from farm to farm, and even the time of year. Milk that is ultra-pasteurized for longer freshness may have a slightly different taste. People should do their own “taste test” to see which kinds of milk they prefer.
4.Is organic milk fresher than regular milk? Not necessarily. Most milk, including organic and regular milk, is delivered to stores within a few days of milking. With modern distribution systems, both types of milk may travel hundreds of miles from farm to retail outlet. Dairy farmers and processors work diligently to provide fresh milk to the marketplace.
5.Why does organic milk cost more than other milk? It is costly for dairy farmers to follow the government standards that are required to receive the certification. Also, because of the uniqueness of the product as well as the limited amount of resource.

7.Does the milk powder ranges from different humidity?

Although the nutrients themselves are reasonably small, they can still be visible in the milk powder. Therefore, it is customary to see some particles when preparing the milk. Due to different production techniques, the particles may be more visible in certain types of milk powder. For example, after reconstituted for a while, some minerals like calcium may appear seen as particles. These particles are not harmful to your health, so please do not be concerned.

All of our milk powder products are tested safe in regards to these black spots. Therefore, the milk powders you have purchased are safe to consume.
