A Peek at the Packaging Process

So what is shelf safe milk, exactly? Quite simply, it’s the same milk that most people have in their refrigerator, but it’s packaged using a different process and doesn’t require refrigeration until after it’s opened. The milk is heated to a high temperature and then cooled down very quickly—all in a matter of seconds.

Next, the milk is put into safe, renewable Tetra Pak cartons to protect it from air, light and other harmful contaminants that can make it spoil quickly. The milk stays safe for a longer shelf life compared to ordinary milk cartons or plastic jugs, and all without additives or preservatives.

How can shelf safe milk make your life easier? With no refrigeration necessary until the package is opened, milk becomes a much more mobile drink. You can take in your car, pack it for the park, pools, picnics, and playgrounds, and more. To enjoy shelf safe milk at the perfect chilled temperature, freeze it and allow it to thaw by midday.

Join the Twitter party to learn more about shelf safe milk and the many ways it can benefit your family. You can find information here about where to buy shelf safe milk. Happy sipping!
