Maduro distributes CLAP boxes with deficient milk? Who is skimming the milk?



"Milk" distributed by the Clap does not meet minimum nutrition standards
Published February 18, 2018

Based on scientific studies, the report states that milk bags manufactured in Mexico and distributed by the government contain values ​​well below the minimum established by the National Institute of Nutrition

The milk sold by the national government in the boxes of the CLAP serves everything but to feed. To this conclusion came a research work carried out by journalists of the armando.info portal, which, based on scientific studies, determined that the milk powder distributed by the Executive does not meet the minimum parameters established by the country's nutritional authorities.

The report is based on an analysis carried out at the Institute of Science and Technology of the Central University of Venezuela (UCV) to eight milk brands produced in Mexico and distributed between September and December 2017 by the local supply and production committees (CLAP), none of which complies with the minimum parameters established by the National Nutrition Institute (INN), and less by international standards.

One of the conclusions that the report reflects is that they are milk substitutes but in no way are they complete milk, as the labels of the different products reflect.

Among the discoveries is that the supposed 'milk powder' contains lower levels of the minimum required in energy, protein, fat and calcium, while the values ​​of carbohydrates and sodium far exceed the allowed standards.

The report was made, among others, by Roberto Deniz, one of the journalists who along with three other editors of the portal specializing in research, were forced into exile in the country for threats against him just to denounce irregularities in the import and distribution of the Clap boxes.

So Maduro is offering cut-rate powdered milky-drink that doesn't even qualify as being actually milk? Another Chavista enchufado/guiso racket? Whats next for Presidente Incompetente? Pretty soon they will start putting Kool-Aid packets in and call it "cherry milk".
