Is there a nutritional difference between fresh and UHT Pura milks?
The difference between fresh and Ultra High Temperature treated (UHT) Pura milks is the temperature at which they are pasteurised. By law all milk sold in Australia must be pasteurised or UHT treated. Pasteurisation involves heating the milk to destroy harmful bacteria that may be naturally present in the milk and that might cause it to go “off”. UHT milk is heat treated at a slightly higher temperature than fresh milk, which enables the UHT milk to be stored unrefrigerated, until the milk is opened. Once opened, UHT milk must be refrigerated. There are very minimal changes, and no significant nutritional difference, between the same type of UHT Pura milk compared with fresh Pura milk.
