In addition, 20 bacterial colonies were detected in only one sample subjected to Bastille sterilization in the test, and all samples subjected to Bastille sterilization met the standard.
All samples that have undergone ultra-high temperature treatment also received the highest 5 stars.
In terms of protein, Zimu high-calcium low-fat milk drink and Meiji CP-meiji fresh milk drink have protein content of only 2.5g and 2.1g per 100ml, respectively, which do not meet the requirements of the "source of protein" claim (3 per 100ml G).
