A member asked:
Is tetra pack long shelf life cow milk as good for babies as fresh short shelf life cow milk? the tetra pack milk may have some preservatives in it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: From what I understand in the packaging of shelf-stable milk such as Tetra pack, there is no additional preservatives. The milk is ultra-pasteurized, and the packaging is sterile, allowing long-term storage without refrigeration. However, it is not recommended to start cow's milk products until your baby is at least 1 year old.
