Hey guys, Just Spotted this at local woolies on the Rundle Mall store, Adelaide. Looks to be store specific clearance.
A2 Milk Powder is a premium brand Milk powder and RRP at $12.99. So This is a real bargain.
Also double checked the best before date on the package, and it's 25/11/2016.
Happy milking!
It's funny, because it's true
The milk scare was close to a decade ago and this type of shit is still going.
Spoken like a true ignorant.
you'd think the manufacturers would just produce and stock more so they can make more sales…
It's no longer true. Just check out your local supermarket, shelves are stocked full of adult/baby milk powder
Recently switched to Soy milk from diary milk, as I found regular milk bothers my stomach. I am about to go to Rundle Mall Myer to pick up stuff now and would have bought plenty of them if I were still into regular milk.
As A2 mob says a2 can solve all your problems, including autism - not that you have
Haha! No, thanks. I'll pass. :)
Edit: I've just realized I had written 'dairy' as 'diary' above. Maybe I am more of dyslexic than autistic. lol
The term people use today is "typo"
Interesting switch, dairy to soy. I am curious, given the problems of added sugar & gm soy beans which soy milk you have chosen.
Have you tried Jersey milk.
Got to wonder what has changed in food processing (farming/manufacturing/retailing industry) to make people sick.
I use Sanitarium's 'So Good Soy Milk' now, and according to its nutrition info at the back, it has 2.0 g of sugar per 100 ml.

I am not sure if I am really lactose intolerant, but I used to get stomach upset even if I had coffee, or yogurt etc. As soon as I made the switch all of those symptoms disappeared. Unless I see some other real issues with Soy, I'll be sticking with it for now.
so good has no soy beans - instead only 3.5% soy protein
So Good isn't soy juice - it's a concoction to reproduce texture, nutritional content (including comparable protein and B12 content) and taste of milk. It can never be milk, but it is a good enough substitute for Westerners brought up on milk.
Soy juice, the fresh stuff you can buy in Chinese grocers, is slightly bitter and isn't a milk substitute. Westerners won't drink it, more so, because it isn't white.
Best part - much less saturated fat than milk and (like all non-animal products) no cholesterol. And, since it has no milk traces or byproducts (unlike some vegetarian cheeses which contain casein), it can be consumed together or immediately after meat by kosher Jews.
@tonester: I am not sure about coconut (though I've heard some scary stories about it health-wise), but the so-called almond milk is the biggest joke of all dairy milk alternatives out there. Most of them have like 2% or less of almond milk, and the rest is water and other stuff. Well, unless you make it at home, then that's a whole new level, which I don't have energy and time for.
PS: Also, soy milk, after dairy milk, has the most protein of all the other dairy milk alternatives.
PPS: Funny thing is, I actually use both Vitasoy and Sanitarium So Good soy milks. I buy my milk from Foodland/IGA here in Adelaide and they sell them (one in a plastic bottle and the other in the conventional carton) right next to each other, and I never paid close attention to my purchases lol. I've just checked my kitchen and both of them are on my kitchen bench. :)

if you visit my links above then you might find that pureharvest has 10% almonds :)
@tonester: Will check that out, Tones. Ta
Edit: Looks like the Pureharvest Organic Almond Milk link is dead, mate. It isn't showing anything.
There are plenty of alternatives to cows milk yet some just blame the Chinese and think they are perfect, good reading:)
Which part out of the Mainland Chinese buying out the Milk Powder in most supermarkets and onselling it back to China Privately for 3x the cost is not true?
none, having said that there are alternatives. Lets focus on the bigger picture:)
That is around baby formula milk due to incident they had in past which is why middle and upper class in China not willing to trust their local produced milk products when it comes to babies. Which is why all formula producing companies are doing well in NZ and AUD examples include Aptamil Karicare, Bellamy's, A2M and many others.
@http404: I overstand the history involved in trade and economics as a whole.
All of our food exports allow Australia to collect vast sums in taxes. This allows us to build infrastructure, medical facilities, schools and the like.
This is how capitalism works. I don't see to many people complain when most non food products are made in China. This is simple, import/export.
The problem is that there needs to be protection of market variances and to protect local resources for local usage. For Australian parents who have babies and toddlers during that period and having to fight with some greedy middle aged mainlander Chinese to buy formula powder because they went and swept all 20 cans off the shelf is just immoral. One has to buy to feed their own kids, whilst the other is literally just there to make huge profits.
It's the same dilemma as "We do not have enough to feed our own, then why are we exporting it out to other countries"? There's no point of capitalism when you are putting your own people at stake, hence why the need to be tight export restrictions and regulations which are better now to stop this thieving.
If China is serious about this problem, then they should look at fixing their own governance processes, their BS corruption scandals and put some morality back into their system (something they had lost for the past century since the World War days).
Until the Australian government put measures in place to tighten up import/export the practice will continue. Having said that it would be extremely difficult to implement and the costs would be large. Only they can make this change not the Chinese.
China is the only creditor nation on the planet and is set to be the next 'superpower' so maintaining good relations is paramount to the Australian economy.
Whilst I don't agree with many things the Chinese government do I do recognise the importance of trading with them, it generates a massive amount of tax revenue for Australia which is very important.
Essentially we must all work together to achieve desired outcomes for all parties including people who struggle to buy milk for infants in Australia.
They'd all be gone if the bus load of tourists from China got wind of it.
