Ultra-Heat Treated (UHT) Milk is used to describe milk that’s been treated in special ways to help it last longer outside a refrigerator or cooled environment. Ultra-Heat Treated (UHT) Milk benefits are the same as any other type of milk, as it contains the same essential nutrients. The difference between fresh and long-life milk is the method of processing. Fresh (pasteurised) milk is heated to 74°C for 15 seconds.Ultra-Heat Treated (UHT) Milk is heated to 140°C for two seconds and then packaged aseptically. The increased temperature at which Ultra-Heat Treated (UHT) Milk is treated results in a greater reduction in bacteria and heat-resistant enzymes in comparison to milk that undergoes regular pasteurisation – giving it an extended shelf life. Ultra-Heat Treated (UHT) Milk can be stored for up to six months in a pantry, but once opened it needs to be refrigerated. Then it can be used normally like fresh milk within seven days. UHT milk is available in forms like full-fat, reduced-fat, low-fat, modified and skim.

UHT milk's ability to remain unspoiled for months without refrigeration addresses urbanization trends and logistical challenges in regions with limited cold-chain infrastructure.

In countries like China, where UHT milk imports rebounded in 2023, the product's stability aligns with rural-to-urban migration and demand for portable, non-perishable dairy.

Consumers increasingly favor products with minimal additives. For example, Fonterra's NZMP GOLD Whole Milk Powder reduces the need for stabilizers in UHT processing, enhancing appeal for health-conscious buyers.

UHT milk is often fortified with vitamins (e.g., vitamin A, D) and proteins, catering to demand for functional foods that support bone health and immunity. Advances in UHT milk powder formulations, such as Fonterra's reduced fouling technology, enable longer production runs and lower operational costs for manufacturers.
