Is it necessary to boil the pasturised milk ?

Answer 1

no..its not necessary to boil pasturised milk...its already heated at a certain temp to kill germs...
boiling it also removes some nutrients from the milk..

however advisable to consume within a day of opening the pack...more than which...u will need to boil the milk.

Answer 2

Well its really not necessary to boil pasturised milk. However, considering the quality of packing and handling of packaged foods nowadays its always safer to give it another boil before consuming. Better to be safe than be sorry.

Answer 3

No.

Exception:

Lots of private dairy in India, and other countries have flimsy seal and they break before use in shipping. Milk otherwise is good to use but on the safe side it will not hurt to boil it and put it in the refrigerator for future use.

Answer 4

Not really if you drink it right after opening the pack provided :
1. It has been packed in pathogen free conditions.
2. It is available in a sealed pack.
If its for kids, it is always better to boil before drinking. If unsure, always buy reputed brands like "Amul", "Nestle" in India. These are always packed in pathogen free conditions and stored in tetra packs to ensure there is no germs.

Answer 5

No! It's already been thermaly treated - no germs there.
You only need to boil milk that might have some germs...

Answer 6

I'd suggest that you don't boil milk at all!

Answer 8

no need of boiling if drunk immidietly after opening the bag
