According to a reporter's investigation, although the fragrance ban has not yet been implemented and the truth about the hormone scandal has been revealed, the public's consumption philosophy has already undergone subtle changes, shifting from a past focus solely on brands to a focus on product categories. Moreover, organic infant formula, which sits atop the food pyramid and is targeted at infants and young children, is selling exceptionally well. Its two major advantages — no added fragrances or flavorings and no hormones — are driving consumers onto the “organic path.”文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11253/

Jiang Zhuoqin, a food and nutrition expert at Sun Yat-sen University, expressed “resolute opposition” to the addition of fragrances to infant formula. He stated that flavorings and fragrances have no nutritional value and are not essential nutrients. At the same time, infants have an underdeveloped digestive system and detoxification capacity, and long-term consumption will increase their metabolic burden. He advocates that no flavorings, fragrances, or any other types of food additives should be added to any infant food products.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11253/

In recent years, “organic” has increasingly gained prominence in daily life as a lifestyle concept representing fashion, health, and environmental protection. This is because organic food not only absolutely prohibits the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, hormones, and other synthetic substances during production and processing, but also maximizes the retention of the product's natural ingredients, being rich in trace elements such as iron, magnesium, and calcium as well as vitamin C. Therefore, experts recommend that mothers should try to eat organic food during pregnancy, and for babies with relatively sensitive taste buds, organic food is even more appealing.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11253/
