Moms, have you ever been dazzled by the various labels and terms on the packaging when choosing milk powder?Especially the mysterious "National Food Note Character YP" and "TY", what kind of secrets are hidden between them?Today, let's unveil their mystery together!
1. The implementation standard is very different
First, let's talk about enforcement standards. YP stands for Ordinary Infant Formula, while TY stands for Formula for Special Medical Purposes. It seems that there is only a few words of difference, but in fact, these two foods are completely different formula foods, and the standards implemented are naturally different.
At present, ordinary infant formula (YP) implements the two national standards GB10765-2010 and GB10767-2010, which have detailed provisions on the definition, classification, composition, contaminant limits, and food additives of milk powder. Formula food for special medical purposes (TY) needs to meet the GB25596-2010 standard, which clearly states that such products need to be used under the guidance of a doctor or clinical dietitian.
2: The target group is different
Next, let's look at how the target groups of these two milk powders differ. Regular infant formula (YP) is suitable for normal infants, and its energy and nutrients are used to meet the nutritional needs of normal infants and young children. Infant formula for special medical purposes (TY) is designed to meet the nutritional needs of infants with special medical conditions such as special disorders and diseases. These products need to be used under the guidance of a doctor or clinical dietitian to ensure that the infant receives proper nutritional support.
3: Technical requirements, there are differences
Finally, let's take a look at the differences in terms of technical requirements. Ordinary infant formula milk powder has strict requirements in terms of raw materials, sensory, essential ingredients, optional ingredients, other indicators, contaminant limits, food additives, etc. In addition to these requirements, formulas for special medical purposes also need to meet some special requirements. For example, the formula must be scientifically proven to be safe, nutritionally adequate, and clinically effective, based on the results of medical and nutritional studies. These formulas can meet the growth and development needs of infants aged 0 months and 6 months with special medical conditions.
Conclusion:
Moms, do you have a clearer understanding of "National Food Note YP" and "TY" now?When choosing milk powder, in addition to paying attention to the differences in implementation standards, target groups and technical requirements, it is also necessary to choose according to the actual situation of the baby.
