…it’s okay to be skeptical. I was.
After reading more about shelf safe milk and thoroughly educating myself on how “safe” it actually was, I am pleased to share with you all that Milk Unleashed is a brilliant alternative to refrigerated milk for your family. Here is all that you will want to know about the product and why I am more than comfortable in giving it to Sofia:
- Shelf safe milk is also called UHT milk {UHT meaning ultra high temperature}
- The unique combination of pasteurizing milk at an ultra high temperature, and then packaging it in a Tetra Pak carton, results in milk that is shelf safe. Ultra-pasteurization eliminates bacteria and Tetra Pak carton packaging keeps out light, air and harmful contaminants. Also called shelf stable milk.
- Shelf safe milk, like regular milk, builds strong bones, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of diabetes and some cancers. A 250ml carton of shelf safe milk has 8 grams of protein and 9 essential nutrients – calcium, Vitamins A, D and B12, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, riboflavin, niacin and zinc – nearly half of the daily recommended vitamins intake.
- You’re probably already consuming UHT milk products and you didn’t even know it. Products like juice, that are in juice boxes, soya beverages, broth and protein shakes in cartons that are found on the shelf of your grocers also use UHT milk.
- Thanks to the Tetra Pak shelf safe carton, the milk will retain its quality for up to six months, however once opened it can be refrigerated from 7 to 10 days
So now what you all need to do is stock up, keeping Milk Unleashed on hand for those days your rushing out the door to an early morning hockey practice, or dinner in the car on the way to a ballet recital. It’s good to have options, we all know this, we crave this. What I can also tell you is Milk Unleashed it’s a great item to keep stocked in your family emergency kits. Heaven forbid we ever have to use them, but rest assured you will be prepared if that day ever comes.
