His mother, Mariana \u00c1lvarez, a 36-year-old teacher, \r\ntakes him to the Nutrition, Growth and Development consultation at J. M. de los \r\nR\u00edos children\u2019s hospital, the main pediatric center of Venezuela, in Caracas, \r\nthe capital. The child is showing signs of malnutrition, a calamity in parallel \r\nexpansion to the economic collapse experiences by the country. He weighs 12 \r\nkilos (26.45 lb), less than the average weight for his age. He gets tired as \r\nsoon as he runs down the hospital corridor. When he smiles, his small, pitted \r\nteeth appear \u2014a clear indication of decalcification.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"Fortunately, \r\nthe box arrives and the milk is only for him,\" says the mother, pointing to \r\nCarlos with a trace of resignation. She refers to subsidized food distributed by \r\nthe Government of President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro through the so-called CLAPs, Local Supply and Production \r\nCommittees. The CLAPs are the cover of a 2016 plan that turned into law \r\nweeks ago. It was aimed to finally release the production and distribution of \r\nfood from the traditional commercial circuit, which the governing <I>Chavism<\/I> \r\naccuses of participating in an economic war against the self-proclaimed \r\nBolivarian Revolution. To date, the program is in practice little more than a \r\nsystematized distribution of bags and boxes with basic necessities - mostly \r\nimported - among popular sectors that constitute the electoral base of \r\nCh\u00e1vez.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In \r\naddition to its purpose of political favoritism - frequently reported by \r\nopposition sectors -CLAPs have been a source of corruption revealed by the \r\npress. In any case, for those who obtain it, the so-called CLAP Box mitigates a \r\ngood part of the uncertainty that entails the daily search for food in \r\nVenezuela.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps \r\nMariana \u00c1lvarez, like hundreds of thousands of mothers across the country, is \r\ndoing wrong by expecting the CLAPs to cover the basic nutrient needs of their \r\noffspring. In the case of powdered milk, commonly consumed in Venezuela, the \r\ndisappointment can be fatal. Depending on the brand of milk used, Carlos, his \r\nson, may need to drink two to seven glasses of the reconstituted milk to get the \r\namount of protein (7.7 grams\/ 0.27 oz) usually contained in a glass of \"regular\" \r\nmilk.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another \r\npiece of information that adds to the scandal, and especially significant for \r\nCarlos, is that considering the Mexican milk brands included in the CLAPs, it \r\nwould be necessary to drink from 13.1 glasses and 41.3 glasses every 24 hours to \r\nreach the minimum calcium requirement for 2 to 4-year-old children, based on 500 \r\nmilligrams per day.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-_KxTMda-Xp alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static

This conclusion is reached after reviewing the results \r\nof the chemical analysis performed on eight samples by the Institute of Food \r\nScience and Technology of Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV). The analysis \r\nwas conducted at the request of Armando.info, which collected several milk \r\npresentations of the milk included in the CLAPs from September to December \r\n2017.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naturally, \r\nMariana \u00c1lvarez is not aware of these results or the risk they entail for her \r\nson. Neither are aware the other mothers waiting in the J.M. de los R\u00edos \r\nchildren\u2019s hospital.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"The \r\npediatrician tells me that milk is calcium for children. That is why I give it \r\nto her only,\" says Omaira, the mother of a two-year-old girl and a \r\nthree-month-old boy. \"When I get the one that is very salty, the one with the \r\nlittle red cow, I sell it or change it for another one, because it makes her \r\nsick, it causes her diarrhea,\" adds this young mother who lives in Catia, a \r\npopular area in the west of the Venezuelan capital.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For \r\nher, as for most of the population that lives with the minimum integral income \r\nof less than 800,000 bolivars (or four dollars, at the parallel market \r\nexchange), the possibility of acquiring the product through regular marketing \r\nchannels is impossible. The price of a bag of whole powdered milk ranges between \r\nBs. 638,120 and Bs. 288,231, depending on the brand and the weight of the \r\npresentation.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignleft\"><blockquote><p>\u201cThey are not powdered milk, even if they state so\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her \r\nonly option is in the CLAP box, the Government-subsidized price of which \r\nrecently rose to 25,000 bolivars. However, even though the combo is still \r\naffordable, it does not mean that it is nutritious, at least in the case of the \r\npowdered milk it includes.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Milky Way to Malnutrition<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although \r\nthey do not know the laboratory data, consumers have ways to realize \r\nit.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"Hopefully, \r\nthe milk is not Mexican. It is of poor quality, salty. And we have good quality \r\nproducts in our country. Children and senior citizens cannot drink that milk,\" \r\nwrote Twitter user @yanezcoromoto on January 19 to Freddy Bernal, national head \r\nfor CLAPs and Minister of Urban Agriculture. Two days later, the official had to \r\nread in his account another more emphatic twit: \"The milk included in the box is \r\ndisgusting,\" sentenced \r\n@vanezcoromoto<\/p>\n\n<div

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based \r\non the chemical analysis of powdered milks imported from Mexico for Venezuelan \r\nCLAPs, they violate the Covenin 1481 standard and the parameters of the National \r\nNutrition Institute (INN) of Venezuela and the Official Mexican Standard \r\n155-SCFI-2012 for milk, which raise questions about a program that the \r\nVenezuelan Government has not hesitated to describe as a \r\n\"miracle\".<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It \r\nis a verification that Pablo Hern\u00e1ndez, a B.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics from \r\nthe UCV, summarizes with force. \"They are not powdered milk, even if their \r\nnutritional facts label states so.\"<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \r\nMac Leche brand milk that the public identifies as the one with \"the red cow\" in \r\nreference to its logo, manufactured by company Deshidratados Alimenticios e \r\nIndustriales (DAI), the label claims that it contains 26 grams (0.91 oz) of \r\nprotein per 100-gram (3.52 oz) serving of the product. The analysis showed that \r\nit only has 8.79 grams (0.71 oz). At the same time, its sodium content (604 \r\nmilligrams\/ 0.02 oz) almost doubles what the packaging says and what the INN \r\nstandards establish.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-_psChmk-h0

explain the constant complaints of consumers about the salty \r\ntaste of Mac Leche. They are not only opinions, but realities in the laboratory. \r\nThe chemical analysis practiced on that milk brand, as well as the other seven \r\nfrom the samples obtained (Rancho Nuevo, Kosland, Suprema, KF Milk, Vital Milk, \r\nPure Milk, and Soy M\u00e1s), supports the versions that have filtered about them \r\nlittle by little through social media, and were about to become urban legends: \r\nThey settle on the bottom, contain lumps, produce \r\ndiscomfort.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For \r\nexample, in Kosland milk, produced by company Productos Serel, there is an \r\nexcessive level of sodium, 600 milligrams (0.02 oz), although the package only \r\nsays 370 milligrams <BR>(0.01 oz), just as recommended by Venezuelan and \r\ninternational standards.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This \r\nbrand, along with Rancho Nuevo, Suprema, KF Milk, and Pure Milk, also stands out \r\nfor its high carbohydrate content, higher than the level established by the \r\nstandards and the one indicated in their packaging (from 78.45 grams\/ 2.76 oz to \r\n90.94 grams\/ 2.76 oz per 100 grams\/ 3.52 oz of the product). \"Since they have \r\nmore carbohydrates, it is logical to think that they thicken, that the solid \r\ngoes to the bottom,\" explains Hern\u00e1ndez, referring to another of the most common \r\nconsumer complaints. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video local-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/armando.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lactomas.MP4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based \r\non the Food Composition Table (TCA) of the National Institute of Nutrition \r\n(INN), the proportion of carbohydrates in whole milk should be 38 grams (1.34 \r\noz). Any surplus can also cause upset stomach, which is frequently reported in \r\nthe testimonies of some consumers who drink Mexican milk from \r\nCLAPs.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"Sometimes \r\nthey are good, sometimes they are bad, and make her sick. I mix it with \r\n<I>fororo<\/I> (toasted cornmeal), cream of rice or cornstarch. But if I give it \r\nto her as a plain glass of milk, it makes her sick,\" says Belkis, the mother of \r\na five-year-old girl, at J.M. de los R\u00edos.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \r\nversion according to which coffee with milk does not foam if prepared with these \r\nMexican brands has also become a classic of the networks. \"It cannot foam \r\nbecause it has no protein, which produces foam,\" explains \r\nHern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite \r\nthe rumors in the networks, the Venezuelan government avoids referring to the \r\nissue. Neither Freddy Bernal, Minister of Urban Agriculture and national head of \r\nthe Command and Control Center of CLAPs, nor the quality control management of \r\nthe Sole Corporation of Productive and Food Services (Cuspal), attached to the \r\nMinistry of Food and successor of the extinct Corporation of Supply and \r\nAgricultural Services (CASA), answered the interview requests for this \r\nreport.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President \r\nNicol\u00e1s Maduro barely made a very superficial reference to these complaints \r\nduring his Sunday TV show on December 3. \"It is not a secret for anyone. Those \r\nwho listens to me knows that CLAP boxes and all CLAP products are national- and \r\nworld-class quality. Am I lying? Once there were complaints here and there. We \r\ninvestigated it and took corrective measures because there were some bad-quality \r\nproducts. Corrective measures were taken immediately,\" said the head of \r\nstate.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video local-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/armando.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/videomaduro_edit.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A \r\nMexican producer, who accepted to speak for this report provided his identity is \r\nkept confidential, assures that in those same days when Maduro talked about \r\n\"corrective measures\" in the import of products, the Mexican suppliers received \r\na communication from the Venezuelan Ministry of Food, ratifying the \r\nspecifications of the products to be shipped. The document, which still showed \r\nthe letterhead of the Quality Management of the extinct Corporaci\u00f3n CASA, \r\nfollowing Covenin standards, indicates that the proportion of proteins for

crap,\" the businessman agrees crudely. \"The \r\nintermediaries (of the Government) requesting that milk are as responsible as \r\nthe vendors selling that product\".<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only \r\none of the eight samples analyzed in the Institute of Food Science and \r\nTechnology of the UCV is close to the requirement of the official Venezuelan \r\ndocument, the Vital Milk brand made by company B-Emminent of Mexico, with a \r\nprotein content of 26.36 grams (0.92 oz), slightly below the 29 grams (1.02 oz) \r\nindicated on the package.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \r\nabsence of proteins and calcium prevents these products from fulfilling their \r\nnutritional function in a country where the signs of malnutrition are \r\nincreasingly visible.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"They \r\neliminate hunger but they do not nourish adequately (...) The caloric intake is \r\nclose to the average of a reference milk, but they do it by covering the deficit \r\nof proteins and fats with an excess of carbohydrates\", highlights \r\nHern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignleft\"><blockquote><p>\"They take hunger away but do not nourish adequately\"<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They \r\nalso pose a risk for Venezuelans with diabetes (7%-10% of the population), while \r\nthe excess of sodium present in several brands is harmful for people with \r\nhypertension, a condition that affects 35% of Venezuelans and contributes to \r\ncardiovascular diseases, the country's leading cause of death. \r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This Thing Some Call Milk<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four \r\nout of the eight brands analyzed state on their packaging that they are \"cow's \r\nmilk;\" two others are presented as plain \"milk\" and two more, KF Milk and Pure \r\nMilk, produced by Dilac, are defined as \"dairy products\". These last two, with \r\ntheir modest euphemism, could be taken from Covenin and INN regulations, since \r\nthere are no official parameters in Venezuela for products identified as \r\n\"milk-based drinks\" \u2014substitutes usually prepared from whey and milk solids that \r\nhas flooded the market in recent years. But the others simply \r\nlie.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"As \r\na consumer, you have to know that this is not milk (...) If all of them are \r\nidentified as a dairy product or milk-based drink, there is nothing to judge. \r\nThe problem is that they are identified as milk, yet the protein and fat content \r\ndo not correspond,\" says Marinela Barrero, a food technology specialist and \r\nresearcher at UCV\u2019s Institute of Food Science and \r\nTechnology.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \r\nRancho Nuevo brand, manufactured by company Fuks S, is the champion in the \r\nbreaching of standards. The chemical analysis confirms that it barely reaches \r\n3.82 grams (0.13 oz) of proteins; just a tenth of what it is required by the \r\nVenezuelan INN. Although it is identified as milk, the label itself lists among \r\nits ingredients, milk solids, corn solids, maltodextrin, and vegetable fat, \r\ncorresponding rather to \"milk-based drinks\". The product barely provides 1.1 \r\ngrams (0.03 oz) of protein per glass, seven times less than the 7.74 grams (0.27 \r\noz) contained in a glass of whole milk. Other similar cases are Suprema milk, \r\nmade by company Brandon Group, which only provides 1.4 grams (0.04 oz) of \r\nprotein and is identified on the package as milk, and Pure Milk, with only 1.9 \r\ngrams (0.06 oz) per glass but sold as a dairy product.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"How \r\ncould a malnourished person recover with that? This is like giving rice flour or \r\n<I>fororo<\/I> <BR>- products with similar nutritional contributions - to a \r\nchild,\" warns nutritionist Hern\u00e1ndez, who is also a professor of Human

nutritional quality affects children more, it does not leave adults \r\nunharmed. To cover, only by intake of milk, the requirement of one gram (0.03 \r\noz) of calcium daily, an adult would have to take between 28.9 glasses per day \r\n(in the case of Suprema milk) and 82.6 glasses (in the case of Mac \r\nLeche).<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If \r\nin this micronutrient is fundamental for the bone and dental development of \r\nchildren, it is also important for adults. The INN official document called \r\nEnergy and Nutrient Reference Values ??for the Venezuelan Population, which \r\ngathers the nutritional guidelines of the country, reports that 99% of the \r\ncalcium in the body is part of the bones and teeth, while the rest is in the \r\nblood, extracellular fluids, muscles and tissues, where it acts in several \r\nmetabolic processes like vasoconstriction, vasodilation, muscle contraction, \r\nnerve transmission, and glandular secretion. It also states that not only \r\nosteoporosis but also cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and colon \r\ncancer are associated with calcium \r\ninsufficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This \r\nprotein and calcium deficit is not sideline information in a Venezuela where \r\nsevere malnutrition has worsened. Ingrid Soto de Sanabria, a pediatrician, \r\nclinical nutritionist and head of the Nutrition, Growth and Development service \r\nof J.M. de los R\u00edos, knows it. Up to 75% of the children who come to her office \r\nhave some degree of malnutrition, and the cases of severe malnutrition \r\n(classified as marasmic, edematous or mixed) do not stop increasing. If three \r\nyears ago malnutrition represented 6% of the cases attended, one year later it \r\nwas present in 15.8% of the cases, and in 2017 in almost 20 of every 100 cases. \r\nOnly in January of this year, his service treated 15 children with \"serious\" \r\nmalnutrition, three times more than those treated in \r\nJanuary.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite \r\nthe importance of the CLAP program, the national government has managed the \r\nmassive purchase of food in Mexico,&nbsp;<A \r\nhref=\"https:\/\/armando.info\/Reportajes\/Resume\/144\">in \r\nfull diplomatic tension between both countries<\/A>, \r\nthrough intermediaries or traders of dubious origin, mostly registered in tax \r\nhavens as Barbados, Hong Kong or Panama.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It \r\nis a millionaire business where companies have stood out alternately, like \r\n<A href=\"https:\/\/armando.info\/Reportajes\/Resume\/175\">Group \r\nGrand Limited<\/A> \r\n\u2014which public prosecutor Luisa Ortega D\u00edaz, removed by the Venezuelan \r\nGovernment, directly related to Nicol\u00e1s Maduro\u2014 or&nbsp;<A \r\nhref=\"https:\/\/armando.info\/Reportajes\/Resume\/171\">Postar \r\nIntertrade Limited<\/A> \r\nof Samark L\u00f3pez, pointed out the last year by the Department of the Treasury as \r\nthe figurehead of the Vice President of the Republic, Tareck El \r\nAissami.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, \r\nthey are not the only marketers that have managed to sink their teeth into the \r\nbusiness.

The figures recently offered by the head of CLAPs, \r\nFreddy Bernal, indicate that in 2016, nearly 27 million food combos were \r\nmarketed. In 2017, almost 91 million combos were distributed, 86 million of \r\nwhich were assembled with imported products. If one takes into account that many \r\nof these products were Mexican and that each CLAP box contains one to two \r\nkilograms (2.20 lb-4.40 lb) of milk, it could be deduced that at least 40,000 \r\ntons of Mexican powdered milk were distributed and consumed in Venezuela over \r\nthe past year.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \r\nofficial figures of the Mexican Ministry of Economy maintain, in any case, that \r\nlast year Mexico exported to Venezuela 56.2 million kilograms (123,899,791.35 \r\nlb) of powdered milk for a value of 27.9 million dollars, i.e. an average of \r\naround $ 0.5 per kilo. \"A kilogram of whole milk (2.20 pounds) costs around \r\nthree dollars in the international market, but what they are sending is worth \r\nless than half. They have been offered all the qualities, but they ask for the \r\ncheapest,\" confirms the Mexican vendor who prefers to keep his identity \r\nconfidential.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, \r\nin the invoices of companies like Group Grand Limited and other invoices of more \r\ncompanies analyzed by Armando.info for this report, the powdered milk is \r\ninvoiced to the Venezuelan Government at four to nearly seven dollars per \r\nkilogram, including the value of the freight. It has been a substantial business \r\nfor the companies and intermediaries, but heavy for the population. \r\n<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-embed-script-UJQMRk wp-block-lazyblock-embed-script\"><p  style=\" margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block;\">   <a title=\"View An\u00e1lisis de 8 muestras de leche en polvo de los CLAP -Armando.Info on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/371666646\/Analisis-de-8-muestras-de-leche-en-polvo-de-los-CLAP-Armando-Info#from_embed\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">An\u00e1lisis de 8 muestras de leche en polvo de los CLAP -Armando.Info<\/a> by <a title=\"View ArmandoInfo&#039;s profile on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/es.scribd.com\/user\/172222252\/ArmandoInfo#from_embed\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ArmandoInfo<\/a> on Scribd<\/p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" title=\"An\u00e1lisis de 8 muestras de leche en polvo de los CLAP -Armando.Info\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/embeds\/371666646\/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-ZsPnNsW47SMxmzPoxvxL&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"0.7720651242502142\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_38966\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">*<\/I> \r\n<I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">This is a work researched and published \r\nsimultaneously by Armando.Info and the Exc\u00e9lsior of \r\nMexico.<\/I><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wps-pgfw-pdf-generate-icon__wrapper-frontend pgfw-icon-display pgfw-icon-display--default\" style=\"--pgfw-icon-justify:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/armando.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2405\/?action=genpdf&#038;id=2405\" class=\"pgfw-single-pdf-download-button pgfw-single-pdf-download-button--default pgfw-single-pdf-download-button--icon-only\" title=\"Generate PDF\" style=\"--pgfw-icon-width:25px;--pgfw-icon-height:45px;\" aria-label=\"Download PDF\"><span class=\"pgfw-single-pdf-download-button__media\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img src=\"https:\/\/armando.info\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-generator-for-wp\/admin\/src\/images\/PDF_Tray.svg\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The chemical analysis of eight Mexican brands that the Venezuelan government supplies to the low-income population through the Local Supply and Production Committee (CLAP), gives scientific determination to what appeared to be an urban legend: it may be powdered, but it is not milk.
