    Powdered Milk Vs "Real" Milk Availability In Bkk?

    in Bangkok

    Posted · Edited by androssi

    Hi,

    This is becoming a hotly debated topic in Thailand, as one of the foreign JV dairy company's is using social media to create some confusion as to the type of milk available and the sources of it. The issue is being further confused by opponents of the NZ/Australia FTA (main milk powder sources).

    I am working in the Food Industry in Thailand, so I will try and provide some clarity.

    Firstly, some facts on the supply situation...

    1) Thailand, whilst they have the best dairy industry in South-East Asia, is very very far from self-sufficient for milk. This means alot of milk powder needs to be imported to satisfy the market demands.

    2) Whilst work is being done on developing the dairy industry, the market demands are growing at least as fast as the raw milk development, meaning the self-sufficiency picture is not improving.

    3) Of the available raw milk, one of the largest demands on this is Thailand's school milk programme which, by statute, must use Thai produced milk (no imported powder!)

    4) The Dairy Farming Promotion Organisation (DPO or Red Cow brand) also must only use Thai produced raw milk in their products.

    5) The remaining Thai milk is then used in various degrees by all the other local and foreign manufacturers.

    So, quite simply, Thialand needs to have milk powder imports to supplement their own production, or people will have alot less dairy products and other food products to consume.

    Therefore, all the major dairy manufacturers in Thailand are using milk powder in their products to supplement the milk that they buy locally.

    (I don't want to add economics to the debate, but importing milk powder is NOT costing Thai consumers more than locally produced raw milk)

    So, then onto the processing and product side;

    Liquid milk can exist in 4 forms in the consumer market;

    1) Raw milk. Means straight from the cow/farm. Has undergone NO heat treatment, It is illegal to sell in most countries due to the risk of disease.

    2) Pasteurised milk. Heat treated at 75 degrees C for 15 seconds. Must be kept chilled. Typical shelf-life is 7-10 days - especially in a climate like Thailand.

    3) Extended shelf-life pasteurised milk. Heat treated at 130-133 degrees C for 2-4 seconds. Must be kept chilled. Typical shelf-life is 20-30 days - especially in a climate like Thailand. If ESL milk is not kept chilled it will only have the same shelflife as pasturised milk. ESL technology is mostly seen in USA, and is used by at least one of the large processors in Thailand

    4) Ultra high temperature milk. Heat treated at 138-145 degrees C for 4 seconds. Must be packed into sterile packages under a sterile environment. Does not need to be stored chilled. Typical shelf-life is 4-12 months - Shelf-life is achieved by sterile product in a sterile pack - there are no preservatives or anything added. UHT technology is widely used in Europe and Asia.

    In terms of "quality" there is no significant difference between 2), 3), and 4). The main nutritional components consumers want in milk are protein and calcium (and fat for children) and some other mineral and vitamins. None of the main nutritional components are significantly affected by any of these 3 heat treatments.

    Consumers will find milk on the market here with different fat and protein contents. These are nothing to do with the heat treatment technique. They are due to either manufacturer or consumer preference (low fat milk for example)

    Finally, "taste". As with all food, it is in the hand (or mouth!) of the consumer. If you find something you like, and it has the quality and nutritional content you want, then buy it!

    Tourist Deaths In Chiang Mai Just A ‘Coincidence’

    in Thailand News

    Posted

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/asia/4748903/McCully-demands-answers-over-Carter-death

    Foreign Minister Murray McCully is demanding answers over the death of Kiwi Sarah Carter in Thailand.

    Chiang Mai authorities yesterday said the cause of death for three tourists, including Carter, 23, remains mystery. It was thought she died of food poisoning.

    McCully said the reponse from officials was ''less than fully convincing so we are going to ask the appropriate further questions.'' He now wants ''further scrutiny.''

    Some further forensic work is still to be done on samples, he said. ''We are looking forward to seeing that too.''

    Asked if New Zealand should conduct its own investigation, he said ''lets not get ahead of ourselves.''

    '''Let's just ask the questions methodically . It's a very sad case obviously...the obvious questions need to be asked and answered fully.''

    Thai officials yesterday said they couldn't confirm food poisoning killed Carter. More blood tests are required from two friends who were travelling with her.

    The Wellington woman was one of four guests at a city hotel over a three week period last month.

    Hi,

    We saw our first outbreak a few months ago, and treated it. Now they are back in several areas all over the house. The landlord sent 2 guys armed only with a screwdriver and some sort of dust to treat it... I even had to strongly encourage them to look beyond the most obvious areas..

    Clearly I need some serious action by professional people...

    Can anyone recommend a reputable company (who also uses chemicals that are human and dog safe)

    Thanks alot

    Newbie Here. I have been reading the TV posts and the New Zealand government sites and all I got out of it was blind from too much reading. I am trying to find out what is required of myself, U.S. passport holder, and my Thai GF, Thai passport holder, to make a 30 day trip to New Zealand.

    Thanks for all advice in advance. This is a great forum and I appreciate the sharing here.

    For your GF, go here www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/visit/visitors/quickcheck.htm

    Hi,

    JSixpack is absolutely right. V-soy is the best with no dairy ingredients, comes in 2 variants - no sugar and low-sugar - both hi-calcium, and in 250ml and 1 L cartons..

    You might also like to try Nature Up from Tipco. Made from Oats - no dairy - in a few different flavours in a 200ml carton.
