Back-to-school made easier: 5 benefits of shelf-stable milk

(BPT) - The back-to-school season is officially here! This time of year is full of shopping and planning to make the first day of school — and the rest that follow — easier on you and your kids. One way to simplify your school-day prep and upgrade your kid's lunch is by picking up a few cartons of shelf-stable milk at the grocery store.

By using a combination of ultra high temperature (UHT) treatment and sterile aseptic packaging, dairy milk becomes shelf-stable without additives or preservatives. That means it can be stored at room temperature for six months or more when unopened.
