Key Characteristics

1. Ultra-Pasteurization:
   • Heated to 280°F (138°C) for 2+ seconds, killing more bacteria than standard pasteurization. This extends shelf life but may slightly alter taste/texture compared to raw or low-temperature pasteurized milk.
   • Safe for consumption beyond the "sell-by" date if refrigerated (though quality may decline).
