According to the U.S. Dairy industry, ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk, commonly sold in boxes, is completely safe for all ages and just as safe as refrigerated milk. This fact challenges the common misconception that boxed milk is unhealthy due to its long shelf life and lack of refrigeration. The convenience and safety of UHT milk are rooted in its unique processing and aseptic packaging, not from harmful additives.

Boxed milk, processed using ultra-high temperature (UHT) technology, is a shelf-stable product with a lifespan of several months until opened. This convenience often raises the question: **Is boxed milk healthier** than its refrigerated counterpart, and what are the true differences between the two?

Over 90% of milk sold in Europe is UHT processed, making it a staple in many parts of the world. Despite this, concerns persist about whether this convenient, shelf-stable dairy is bad for you or if it's as nutritious as fresh, refrigerated milk.
