Pasteurization Proves Safe Milk Standard
Heat treated milk destroys disease germs and became a public safety standard. Discovered by Louis Pasteur in 1864, pasteurization heats milk to 142 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes then cools quickly, preserving taste and nutrition. Many cities require pasteurized milk, with notable declines in infant deaths after adoption. Milk Service, Inc. markets a modern pasteurizing plant and promotes clean milk for orders.
