ADVICE:
WMPs are often packed under nitrogen gas to protect the product from oxidation and to maintain their flavour and extend their keeping quality. Packaging is chosen to provide a barrier to moisture, oxygen and light. Bags generally consist of several layers to provide strength and the necessary barrier properties. Shipments of milk powder should never suffer prolonged exposure to direct sunshine especially in tropical countries. A few hours at elevated temperatures (> 40 C) during transshipment can negate many weeks of careful storage.
Milk producers with ultra-modern spray-drying facilities are used as our PLATINUM GLOBAL suppliers.The flavour and profile of our Full Cream Milk Powder is internationally recognised as all milk processed is sourced exclusively from factories with their own farms, guaranteeing quality and traceability of supply, and is produced from cows fed on a natural, grass-based diet.
Milk powders are immensely more stable than fresh milk but protection from moisture, oxygen, light and heat is needed in order to maintain their quality and shelf life. Milk powders readily take up moisture from the air, leading to a rapid loss of quality and caking or lumping. The fat in WMPs can react with oxygen in the air to give off-flavours, especially at higher storage temperatures (> 30_C) typical of the tropics.
