- Up to 50% stronger when wet compared to other compact towels

- Softer and whiter with a more luxurious texture

At Unifor we find that long life milk or UHT (Ultra Heat Treated) milk in demand for our business customers. In an office setting with limited fridge space and a high volume of milk used it probably isn’t really a surprise - after all long life milk can be stored at room temperature, whereas milk purchase from the supermarket fridge must be stored below 4 degrees at all time.

Long life milk also contains the same nutritional elements as fridge milk with the main difference being the way the milk is processed. Fresh (pasteurised) milk is heated to 74°C for 15 seconds. Long Life Milk is contrast is heated to 140°C for two seconds and then packaged aseptically. The increased temperature at which long life milk is treated results in a greater reduction in bacteria and heat resistant enzymes in comparison to milk that undergoes pasteurisation – giving it an extended shelf life.

Unifor offers Devondale Long Life Milk and Devondale Long Life Skim Milk, in addition to Dairy Farmers UHT Milk Portions and Sanitarium So Good Soy Milk.
