Tag: Pasteurized milk safety

Since its widespread adoption in the early 20th century, pasteurization has dramatically reduced milk-borne illnesses, making milk one of the safest foods we consume. Today, in light of recent public health events like the bird flu outbreak in dairy cattle, many wonder: is pasteurized milk safe right now? The consensus from leading health organizations is a resounding yes.

According to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), pasteurized and Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) treated milk, like that from Amul, is safe for direct consumption. So, can I eat Amul milk daily? For most people, consuming milk daily is not only safe but also provides vital nutrients, depending on the type and quantity consumed.
