Tetra Pak milk is made from ultra high temperature (UHT) treated milk, which is heated briefly to preserve taste and nutrition, allowing for a shelf life of 4 to 6 months when sealed. Unlike pasteurized milk, which has a shorter shelf life and requires constant refrigeration, UHT milk does not need to be boiled and maintains its nutritional properties. Benefits of Tetra Pak milk include longer shelf life, minimal refrigeration needs after opening, and avoidance of healthy bacteria loss.

1. Milk in Tetra Pak

2. Milk in Tetra Pak
Milk in Tetra Pak is the milk that is filled into the six-layered Tetra Pak
cartons. Ultra High Temperature-treated milk simply means that the milk
has been heated to a very high temperature for a brief period;
however, ensuring the milk’s taste and nutrition remains intact

3. Tetra Pack Milk
Tetra Pack Milk has to pass through heating and cooling stages in quick
successions. It is then immediately filled into a sterile Tetra Pak carton
which is shelf safe. With UHT, the shelf life of milk in Tetra Pak cartons
increases and the milk can last up to 4 to 6 months when the carton
remains sealed. However, once opened, the milk carton needs to be
refrigerated and consumed within 5 days from opening the seal

4. Tetra Pak Milk vs. Fresh Milk
• Tetra Pak Milk vs. Fresh Milk: Milk that is UHT treated is exposed to very
brief yet intense heating temperatures. These temperatures are in the
range of 135 to 137 degree Celsius for three seconds. Because it is a
continuous process, it takes place in closed systems, keeping the beverage
safe from contamination by airborne micro-organisms. UHT milk has to
pass through heating and cooling stages in quick successions. It is then
immediately filled into a sterile Tetra Pak carton which is shelf safe.
• Therefore, when compared with each other, UHT milk stands out as it has
a longer shelf life, does not require boiling, and one can be assured that
they are drinking pure milk.

5. Disadvantage of Tetra Pak
In the pasteurisation process, milk is heated to 72 to 75 degrees Celsius
for 15 to 20 seconds before it is cooled. Pasteurised milk has a shorter
shelf life when compared to UHT milk, the basic reason for which is that
pasteurised milk needs to be maintained at a constant temperature of 4
degrees Celsius even during distribution

6. Benefits of Carton Milk
• UHT milk has a much longer shelf life.
• It doesn’t need refrigeration, unless the carton has been opened.
• Does not require boiling, hence avoids killing healthy bacteria
• No Loss of nutritional properties during its long validity.
