Sweetened milk powder
World War II brought on government control and rationing of supplies, and infant milk formula was ordered to switch to sweetened milk powder with 15% or 30% milk solids. Due to wartime supply shortages, it was important to securing quantity as rationed food, rather than quality. Container cans are also in short supply. They bore a label that read, “Recycle the used cans to make something useful” or “Will pay 10-sen in exchange for a returned can.”
