§ 39721 Uht Lowfat Milk Standards

• •UHT lowfat milk is a type of milk that can be sold in stores. It can be regular milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, or dried milk, or a mix of these.
• •This milk must be processed and packaged in a specific way, following the rules in Section 39701.
• •It can have some safe, edible stabilizers added to it, but only the ones allowed by the federal government.
• •This milk must be homogenized, which means the cream is mixed in so it doesn’t separate.

You buy a carton of lowfat milk at the grocery store that doesn’t need to be refrigerated until you open it.

This milk is UHT lowfat milk. It was processed and packaged in a special way to last longer, and it might have some safe stabilizers in it to keep it from separating. It’s also homogenized so the cream doesn’t float to the top.
