Milk And Dairy

Stub page. Chekri et al. 2019 reports infant formulae, follow-on formulae, growing-up milks, milk-based beverages, milk-based desserts, and common dairy categories. Burrell and Exley 2010 and Chuchu et al. 2013 report aluminum in cow-milk-based infant formula products, but do not isolate raw cow milk from finished formula constituents and processing. Dabeka et al. 2011 reports milk-based formula by powder, concentrated liquid, and ready-to-use formats, but those are product-level rows rather than raw dairy occurrence distributions. Astolfi et al. 2021 reports powdered infant formula as sold in Italy, but does not provide a raw-milk or dairy-ingredient concentration row. Kazi et al. 2009 reports milk-based infant formula as a comparator to soy-based formula, not a raw dairy occurrence distribution. chekri2019-french-infant-toddler-tds-trace-elements burrell2010-aluminium-in-infant-formulas chuchu2013-aluminium-in-infant-formulas dabeka2011-canada-infant-formula-lead-cadmium-aluminum astolfi2021-italy-powdered-infant-formula-elements kazi2009-toxic-elements-in-infant-formulae
