How come they don't make milk in a can?

Question

I've heard of soy milk or coconut milk in a can, but never regular cow milk. Why is this??

Answer 1

They do but not in cans because of flavor and customer perception concerns. The process is called "aseptic packaging" and is not new. It's used quite commonly overseas for a wide variety of products,milk being one of them. Basically, the product is properly sterilized by whatever necessary means and then is packaged and sealed in a sterile environment. Meaning the product goes form pasteurization to package without being exposed to atmosphere. The product then does not require refridgeration to keep it fresh. Eventually it will catch on here in the states because it's quite economical to do it that way.

Answer 2

MMmmm... Powdered GOAT MILK! Coconut and soy milk come from plants, not animals. That's why they can be stored in a can and because they aren't used as much as cow and goat milk. Cow milk and goat milk must be pasteurized before consuming it safely. Just follow the link below to see powdered goat milk.

Answer 3

Evaporated and condensed cow's milk does come in cans. But most people drink milk so fast they don't need to store it for the long term; cartons are more cost efficient and are the best way to sell it.

Answer 4

they do. It's evaportaed milk or condensed milk. They sell products with less water to reduce packaging costs. Sweetened condensed milk has been around since the civil war.
