It’s Dairy Month!

Every June, we celebrate dairy products such as milk and we should also take some time to learn more about milk.

Milk Unleashed (which I posted about previously) is an educational campaign to introduce people to shelf safe milk. What better month to spread the word than Dairy Month?

What is Shelf Safe Milk?

Shelf Safe Milk is Grade A milk that doesn’t have to be refrigerated until it’s opened. A single serve milk box (looks like juice boxes) can be stored for 6 months without refrigeration.

Now you can bring milk to a picnic, camping or a sports event. You can throw them in a cooler just to keep it chilled (cold milk tastes better) but you don’t have to and you don’t have to worry about it going bad if it’s not cold enough. Or freeze them ahead of time and they will be just right when it’s time to drink.

It is safe to keep the milk unrefrigerated because it’s sealed in a Tetra Pak and no preservatives are added (nor are they needed.) It tastes only a little bit different from regular milk.
