On August 20, netizens @ Takeshi Kaneshiro posted a post on Douban that

A Starbucks in Guangzhou's high-speed railway station uses prepared milk instead of fresh milk when making coffee.

The victim said it was difficult to accept and contacted Starbucks for consultation.

After the post was released, it attracted netizens all over the world to follow the post and talk about it one after another.

Most netizens said they had not found the use of prepared milk instead of fresh milk at Starbucks.

There are also a small number of netizens said that they have the same experience with the landlord and use the milk in silence.

Today, the victim updated his post saying that he had received a telephone feedback from Starbucks, saying that all areas except Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai were gradually being replaced with prepared milk. Customer service staff said that this is the result of various considerations at the headquarters.

In Beijing Jiasheng SOHO Center store, the clerk is using fresh milk to make drinks, the clerk said that no notification has been received.

According to the comparison of milk commonly used in cafes in four aspects: dense milk foam, maintenance of milk foam, sweetness after passing, and taste mixed with coffee, coffee practitioners, that is, lovers, provide a more professional and objective reference when choosing different milk to make milk coffee.

Long-lasting Milk: Odeburg, Eyre Morninglight, Green Field Source, Nestle, Black and White Milk

Fresh Milk: Weigang, Meiji, Modern Ranch, Weiji, Weiquan, Yanshi Ranch

Baojiu milk for raw milk by high pressure sterilization or high temperature sterilization, the use of aseptic packaging, shelf life is 3-6 months, can be stored at room temperature.

Fresh milk is sterilized raw milk after cooling packaging, need to be refrigerated, shelf life is 5-7 days. Milk with higher protein content will have a stronger "milk flavor"; milk with higher protein and fat content will have a creamy flavor.

The foam maintenance of fresh milk is better than that of long-lasting milk, which is one of the reasons why fresh milk is selected in the international flower-pulling competition. )

What on earth is prepared milk?

According to the National Food Safety Standard, prepared milk is a liquid product made of not less than 80% raw cow (sheep) milk or reconstituted milk as the main raw material, adding other raw materials or food additives or nutritional reinforcers, and using appropriate sterilization or sterilization processes.

The early prepared milk is aimed at infants, like the infant formula purchased by many families, which is a kind of prepared milk. Nowadays, the concept of prepared milk is not limited to babies, but refers to dairy products processed with various nutrients in fresh milk raw materials or milk powder according to the nutritional needs of different people. Therefore, the types of prepared milk include infant milk, breast milk, elderly milk and so on.

So, what's the difference between prepared milk and pure milk?

Pure milk is 100% milk, which enjoys a wide market because of its original ecology, avoiding chemical additives, hormones and so on.

However, from a nutritional point of view, pure milk may not be the most suitable for human needs, for example, people suffering from lactose intolerance, drinking pure milk may cause diarrhea.

On the other hand, according to the needs of different consumers, other substances are added to pure milk, resulting in a change in taste or enhancement of some nutrients.

Therefore, each has its own advantages, and consumers can make choices according to their own conditions.

The relevant person in charge of Starbucks in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. The other party said that it had not received the relevant notice. At Starbucks stores in Nanjing and Starbucks stores in Shanghai, clerks use Weigang milk.

So, is it only Guangzhou Starbucks that uses milk, and are Starbucks stores everywhere starting to implement the new plan? What do you think of Starbucks' use of blended milk?
