Results reported in previous studies confirmed that the flavor of dairy products had a great impact on consumers’ purchase and consumption of various dairy products. Currently, most imported milk sold in the Chinese market is plain milk. The proportion of other flavors such as strawberry, banana, and chocolate is very small. For example, in Jingdong Mall, the proportion of plain, strawberry-flavored, banana-flavored, and chocolate-flavored imported milk is 76.53%, 8.42%, 4.08%, and 3.32%, respectively. To further explore consumers’ preference for the flavor of imported milk, this study delineated the flavor attribute thereof into three levels: strawberry flavor, banana flavor, and plain. Calcium has multiple functions, including vascular contraction and vasodilation, muscle function, nerve transmission, announced by the National Institutes of Health. Only one percent of calcium in human body is needed in the circulation to support these functions, and the remaining ninety-nine percent of calcium is stored in bones and teeth to strengthen and support their structure. Iron is essential for the human body, playing a key role in many metabolic processes, such as oxygen transport, DNA synthesis, energy metabolism, and cell growth and differentiation. Zinc is necessary for protein production, growth, cell division, immune function, DNA synthesis, wound healing, bone and teeth formation, brain activity, skin renewal, and the proper functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin D is indispensable to the human body and the lack of it causes growth retardation and rickets in children, precipitates and exacerbates osteopenia and osteoporosis, and increases the risk of fractures in adults. Vitamin A and zinc work together to prevent mouth ulcers, dry flaky skin, poor night vision, and frequent colds. Currently, the imported milk sold in China generally contains a certain vitamin \(such as vitamin A, vitamin D, etc\.\) or element needed by humans \(such as calcium, iron, etc\). A small amount of imported milk simultaneously contains calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin D. Because vitamin A and vitamin D can work together to promote bone development and improve body immunity.
