Today I noticed that Horizon’s organic whole cow’s milk says “Ultra Pasteurized” on their half gallon containers while the gallon containers say only “Pasteurized”. What?! I can’t imagine they actually have two different kinds of pasteurized whole milk, so I didn’t buy it, assuming that it’s all ultra pasteurized. BUT! Now I’m wondering about other milk labeling and how accurate their wording is. Has anyone had a similar experience with other brands? -Or, am I wrong to assume Horizon’s labeling is inaccurate? I ended up buying Berkeley Farms because I was feeling cheap and didn’t want to spend $9 for a gallon of Strauss Family milk (I don’t live near enough to farmland, so direct from a dairy is not an option when I experience a cheesemaking whim at 6 o’clock at night).
Take care,

Interesting fact.

Here is another interesting link for those on the U.S..

Most of you probabaly already know about this site but… Some might not.

As its been discussed some time ago, if in dought go for the max of 2%, its the least affected( unless u go skim) and then add cream to it. The higher the cream the more they have to screw it to keep the milk from separating etc.

Wow, r dub, that was an impressive map. Milk empire! I had some trouble opening the other link but will try again later. I’ve emailed Horizon to confirm what I saw, but it looks like they also have a whole milk with Omega 3 added, and maybe that’s ultra pasteurized while the other whole milk isn’t- I’ll let you all know. Otherwise, adding cream to 2% is a good idea too- cream in anything can’t be bad…

Ah, I opened the link- great! I’d seen this a while ago and lost it so I’m really glad you shared it- now bookmarked. Thanks.

interesting to me as well.
When I posted the link to the map, Horizan organic was actually on the map.
Overnight, it is gone, or at least, I can’t seem to spot it again.
It is still in the header, just above the map.
wondering what’s up with that??
