Regarding the online rumor about Zhong Xuegao sea salt coconut products

Response to the problem of long-term non-melting

↓↓↓

It claims that there is no such thing as unmelting ice cream. It has high solids and little water. After it is completely melted, it will naturally become viscous and will not completely disperse into a puddle of water. No matter how the solids melt, they will not turn into water.

The reason why it melts and becomes viscous is that the main ingredients in the formula of this product are milk, cream, coconut milk, condensed milk, whole milk powder, ice egg yolk, etc. The solid content of the product itself reaches about 40%. Except for a small amount of water in some raw materials, no additional drinking water is added to the formula. At the same time, as for the issue of addition, in order to maintain the good flavor and shape of the product during the shelf life, the product only uses a very small amount of food emulsifier thickener, which is added in strict accordance with relevant national standards and can be eaten with confidence.

Many netizens are still confused

According to this inference

Is milk and coconut milk solid?
