How Kwinbon Supports Global Dairy Safety with Rapid Testing Solutions
Beijing, China – As of September 16, 2025, China’s updated National Food Safety Standard for Sterilized Milk (GB 25190-2010) prohibits the use of reconstituted milk (reconstituted from milk powder) in sterilized milk production. Such products must now be labeled as "modified milk" rather than "pure milk," ensuring clearer consumer information and higher industry standards. This revision aims to elevate product quality, align with global benchmarks, and promote sustainable growth in China’s dairy sector.
Background: Why the Change?
Sterilized milk (e.g., UHT milk) dominates China’s liquid milk market. Previously, some manufacturers used reconstituted milk in "pure milk" products, blurring authenticity and nutritional value. With China now a global leader in raw milk production, the new standard prioritizes fresh, high-quality ingredients:
Sterilized Milk: Must use 100% raw milk (cow/sheep) and undergo ultra-high-temperature or retort processing.
Reconstituted Milk: Now classified as "modified milk" if containing milk powder -based ingredients.
Pasteurized Milk: Made solely from raw milk via low-temperature pasteurization, retaining more bioactive nutrients.
Industry Impact: Transparency and Quality Advancement
The policy reinforces China’s commitment to dairy excellence:
Consumer Clarity: Shoppers can easily identify true "pure milk" without deciphering ingredient lists.
Nutritional Value: Raw milk-based products offer superior bioavailability of proteins, lactoferrin, and immunoglobulins compared to reconstituted alternatives.
Supply Chain Upgrade: Dairy producers must invest in raw milk sourcing and cold-chain logistics, fostering industry-wide innovation.
With over 2 million dairy-related enterprises in China (Tianyancha data), including 3,800 new registrations in 2025, the standard accelerates consolidation and quality-focused competition.
Kwinbon’s Role: Ensuring Compliance and Safety
As a leading provider of rapid test strips and ELISA kits, Kwinbon empowers dairy producers and regulators to adhere to these evolving standards. Our solutions include:
Raw Milk Authenticity Tests: Detect adulterants (e.g., reconstituted milk components) in raw milk supplies.
Nutritional Component Assays: Quantify key indicators like lactoferrin, β-lactoglobulin, and furosine to verify freshness and nutrient retention.
Pathogen Screening: Ensure products meet safety benchmarks (e.g., China’s raw milk testing pass rate of 99.96% in 2024).
These tools enable real-time quality control from farm to table, supporting manufacturers in transitioning to compliant practices while maintaining cost efficiency.
Global Implications: A Benchmark for Dairy Integrity
China’s move reflects a global trend toward transparent labeling and premiumization in dairy. For international partners, Kwinbon offers:
Localized Testing Platforms: Tailored kits for regional compliance needs (e.g., ISO, FDA, or GB standards).
Routine Monitoring Solutions: Help exporters verify product eligibility for Chinese markets.
Looking Ahead: Sustainable Dairy Consumption
Per the Chinese Dietary Guidelines (2022), daily dairy intake recommendations (300–500 mL) remain central to public health. The new standard boosts confidence in domestic products, potentially increasing consumption—currently at just one-third of the global average per capita.
Expert Insight:
"This policy clarifies identity for pure milk, pushing industry players to prioritize raw milk quality and supply chain resilience," notes Prof. Zhu Yi, China Agricultural University.
