Review: Delicious Organic Shelf-Stable Low Fat Milk With Vitamin D - These Horizon organic, low fat, shelf-stable 8-ounce cartons of milk with Vitamin D are ideal for helping bones absorb calcium, and each carton has 8 grams of protein. The size is also perfect when baking and one cup of milk is called for, or to take on car trips, or for children or grandchildren to put in their lunch boxes or bags, making its portability a plus. I am a two-time cancer survivor, and my bones were weakened from too many radiation treatments and from a medication after breast cancer that left me with daily lower back pain (thankfully, I am no longer on that medication and am pain free). I have periodic check-ups and scans, one of which was a bone density scan six months ago. Although my spine was reported as having normal bone density (that was a blessing), both femurs in my thighs showed low bone mass (my things were at the bottom of the radiation field). That was a wake-up call, so I decided to drink milk every day. I maintain an organic-only diet and was buying half gallons of milk from another brand. Then I stumbled upon this product that is both delicious and convenient. I am now buying it weekly. I work at home and refrigerate all six petite cartons, which do not take up much space in the refrigerator. They are a reminder to get my daily dose of calcium, and I drink one with my lunch every day. The attached straws add to their ease of use. The taste and quality are excellent, as is the value for the money. I highly recommend this product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how is this milk preserved so it can be on a shelf?**
A: Science! :)Ok so there are primarily three things that make milk go "bad" (which is actually just a chemical change with some unsavory smells and flavor)- sunlight, airborne microorganisms, and bacteria present in the milk.Sunlight breaks down vitamin A and D when the electromagnetic energy is transformed into kinetic energy causing the large molecules to break apart or change shape. The way around this is to use a package which contains a layer of foil that light can't penetrate. Normal milk containers don't do this which is one reason why milk in the fridge has a shorter shelf life.Secondly airborne microorganisms and contaminates are eliminated by packaging the milk in a completely sterile environment. This is commonly referred to as aseptic packaging.  The most common form of aseptic packaging is a box made from layers of polyethylene (plastic), aluminum foil, and cardboard. The plastic keeps the package airtight, the foil keeps out light, and the cardboard makes it easier to transport (gives it shape.)But before you can put it in the box for storage of 6-9 months which many European countries have been doing for decades you have to sterilize the milk. This is done by a process of pasteurization which was invited by  French scientist Louis Pasteur during the nineteenth century. "Regular" milk is pasteurized by heating it to a temperature hot enough to kill all or most of the pathogens aka bacteria. This technique ranges in temperature and time of exposure but is usually completed between 140-163°F with shorter times at higher temperatures to make sure the milk is not harmed, however, there is a process called UHT pasteurization. UHT or Ultra High Temperature pasteurization works the same way but the milk is only heated for 2 seconds as opposed to some longer times like 30 minutes at 140°F. UHT pasteurization temperatures range around 275°F and then rapidly cooled but the brilliant thing about this is that it not only kills all of the bacteria it also kills spores so nothing starts growing.So long story short... Sterilize the milk using UHT pasteurization, package it in a completely sterile box layered to keep out air and light, and viola you can store milk for at room temperature for 6-9 months! Horizon's chocolate milk is great!

**Q: Does this need to be refrigerated and how long is shelf life?**
A: Shelf stable milk lasts up to 6 to 9 months, unopened in a cool, dark, dry storage pantry. Once opened, it needs refrigeration and should be consumed within 7 days.

**Q: Why is the price so highf, almost double compare to local stores around the area?  I'm specifically looking for plain milk.**
A: I keep watch between amazon and the local stores, they alternate who has it on sale and I buy when the cost is less than $1 each milk.  I’ve gotten the 18 pack around 13.99 from amazon and can’t beat that in a store, just keep checking.

**Q: Why is your prices so higher before is lower prices? like around $16.00 ???**
A: supply & demand

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It tastes great, and easy to carry.
*by E***K on 17 January 2026*

Convenient to have without refrigeration, and tastes absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this product for traveling.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential for folks who like milk or not
*by K***L on 29 January 2026*

This milk is perfect for those of us who don't drink much milk but need to keep it on hand for the occasional bowl of cereal or for certain recipes. It is IDEAL for bad weather when power outages are likely. It is shelf stable and has a few months storage life. It is real milk, so it tastes like real milk and has the texture of real milk. It IS real milk. I've used it for years and used to get it at the grocery store. They no longer carry it, so thank goodness for Amazon! It is always in my fridge (although it could be in my cabinet instead). It is a bit more expensive than bottled milk, but if you normally use just a bit of the bottle and throw away the rest, this boxed milk will save you money in the long run.
