If you’re a parent, you might have noticed toddler “milk” while browsing the formula aisle. The powdered drink, aimed at children between 1 and 3, often pledges benefits like “improved brain development” or “improved immune function.”
But you may not know that these products are largely unregulated and make claims that are not supported by science, according to studies. For this reason, among others, public health authorities around the world have long sought to police such advertising. Yet despite these efforts, toddler milk has grown to become a $20 billion global business.
Oh so it’s that kind of product. “Milkfat sold separately, look in the butter isle”.
Plain whole milk powder costs about 15 Euro a kg, that’s about 10 litres, not a bad price but Aldi sells whole milk starting at 99ct/l. You can probably get it cheaper it’s just not a thing that supermarkets stock so you’re either paying premium or need to go wholesale.
