Milk Powder

When breast feeding is not an option, infant formula becomes the baby's sole source of nutrition, making it a critical product with stringent regulatory constraints to ensure safety. Both wet processes and dry mixing in infant formula production have critical points, with dry mixing lacking a killing step, leading to high microbe exposure. Mastering the entire process and monitoring raw materials and environment rigorously are essential.
