What is "pasteurized milk"?
Pasteurized milk refers to milk that has undergone a heat treatment process to eliminate potentially harmful bacteria and extend its shelf life. This process involves heating the milk to a specific temperature and then rapidly cooling it. Pasteurization helps to ensure the safety of the milk by reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses. It is a common method used in the dairy industry to make milk safer for consumption while retaining its nutritional value. Pasteurized milk is widely available and is a popular choice among consumers due to its enhanced safety and convenience.
Examples
1. You had clean pasteurized milk that was just starting to be distributed in America at that time.
2. And the reason that I do that-- first of all, the reason that people heat the milk to begin with-- I mean, I started with pasteurized milk.
3. Due to its organic and nutrient rich nature, milk is one of the most susceptible liquids to this and only pasteurized milk is considered safe by the FDA, much to the chagrin of raw milk enthusiasts.
4. While slightly spoiled previously pasteurized milk won’t taste good and could make one sick, the smell usually comes prior to the milk being really harmful and, potentially, deadly, so this is rarely an issue.
