According to a reporter's investigation, although the fragrance ban has not yet been implemented and the hormone scandal has been fully clarified, the public's consumption philosophy has already undergone subtle changes, shifting from a mere pursuit of brands in the past to a pursuit of product categories. Moreover, organic infant formula, which sits at the top of the food pyramid and targets 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.”Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/11253/

Jiang Zhuoqin, a food and nutrition expert at Sun Yat-sen University, expressed “firm opposition” to the addition of fragrances to infant formula. He said that flavorings and fragrances have no nutritional value and are not essential nutrients. At the same time, infants' digestive systems and detoxification capabilities are underdeveloped, and long-term consumption will increase their metabolic burden. He advocates that no fragrances, flavorings, or any other types of food additives should be added to any infant food products.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/11253/

For babies with relatively sensitive taste buds, organic food is even more appealing.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/11253/
