                                Ultra-high-temperature (UHT) processing, also known as ultra pasteurization, heats milk to at least 280°F for a few seconds, extending its shelf life significantly. However, this intense heat treatment, while effective for sterilization, comes with several well-documented drawbacks for consumers.
