- Once the packaging is open, the DSM must be used within the following days.
- Destroy immediately the powdered milk if the colour, the smell, or the aspect has changed, even if the expiry date is not yet reached (important risk of bacteriological contamination).
Procedures for Quality Control
- Control upon receipt (quantity/quality): Use and fill the "check list for the control upon receipt": NSFOCRECOOE (English), NSFOCRECOOF (French). A certificate of analysis (one per batch number) shall be provided upon receipt (for each delivery).
- In case of purchase of big quantity, make an inspection company (SGS, Cotecna, Véritas, FAIDEX, etc.) perform an inspection before loading. Use and fill the appropriate "Inspection contract" ref. NSFOINSP+++
- Quality control (organoleptic ): check the following parameters:
- Texture: powder without lumps
- Appearance: white of slightly yellowish fine powder, free from impurities/colored particles. The reconstituted milk shall be a homogenous liquid. It shall be white.
- Smell: shall be neutral and typical of milk. It shall not be pungent.
- Taste: shall be characteristic of milk; no rancid, pungent or unpleasant taste.
Destroy immediately the powdered milk if the colour, the smell, or the aspect has changed, even if the expiry date is not yet reached (important risk of bacteriological contamination).
However sending a sample to a laboratory is possible if big quantities are concerned (see below).
- Send to a laboratory in case of suspicion (contact: food-quality-coord@msf.org)
