Question

Ultrahigh temperature treatment, also known as UHT, is a processing method that heats milk to a very high temperature (above 135°C) for a short period of time, typically only a few seconds, which kills all the bacteria and microorganisms in the milk. This allows for the milk to be stored at room temperature for several months without spoiling. Prolonged pasteurization and boiling for exactly 10 minutes are not commonly used processing methods for milk in grocery stores. Combination irradiation/pasteurization is not a commonly used processing method for milk and has not yet been approved by the FDA for use in the US.
