FACTS ABOUT UHT DAIRY PRODUCTS
Ready-to-drink UHT milk should be a familiar sight and is known because of its long product life. But like any other milk products, it can go bad, so, today, we will share with you some interesting facts about UHT milk including how to choose and store the milk.
First, what is UHT milk?
UHT stands for ultra-high-temperature, so UHT milk is milk that was processed with temperature of over 133 degrees Celsius to kill off any bacteria and microorganism and became homogenised before being packaged into a sterilised container. This way UHT milk can maintain its colour and flavour without losing any significant amount of valuable nutrients and can be stored in room temperature for 6-8 months.
Choosing Tips for UHT Milk
- Check the expiration date on the top of the carton before buying and drinking the milk
- Inspect the piercing foil to make sure that it is not damaged
- Choose the milk product contained in good conditioned packaging with no dents, leakage or swelling shown
UHT Milk Products Storage Recommendation
- Do not soak in water or ice, and keep away from sunlight
- Do not throw or stack in large amount, as the cartons could be damaged
- Store in a clean space away from insects and pests that could cause damage to the milk products
- Do not use sharp objects to open the packaging as they might create minute punctures and allow air or microorganism to get inside and spoil the milk
Drinking UHT Milk Recommendation
- Read the label before drinking
- Do not drink past the expiration date
- Do not drink if the container is compromised or the milk comes with unusual smell, colour or flavour
- Shake well before drinking and drink immediately in one go
