Homogenized pasteurized high-protein whole milk in a 946ml PET bottle for retail distribution and cold-chain wholesale.
FAQ
Due to the short shelf life of fresh pasteurized milk, transport fleet reefers must maintain strict continuous refrigeration between 1°C and 4°C with active thermal logging. Any temperature abuse above 6°C compromises microbial stability and prematurely depletes shelf-life margins across the distribution hub.
The standard wholesale MOQ starts at 100 shrink packs (600 bottles) to optimize refrigerated LTL/FTL route costs. Palletization typically follows 120 shrink packs (720 bottles) per Euro-standard pallet, reinforced with heavy stretch wrapping and protective edge corners to prevent bottle crushing under static load.
The QA batch COA certifies complete pasteurization via negative alkaline phosphatase testing, Total Viable Count (TVC), zero tolerance for coliforms and E. coli, titratable acidity in Dornic degrees, fat percentage, and Solids-Not-Fat (SNF) metrics verified prior to warehouse release.
Upon shipment arrival, core product temperature is measured using calibrated probe thermometers on random samples. If readings exceed 8°C or if thermal barrier integrity failed, an immediate non-conformance report is logged with the fleet driver and affected lots are quarantined pending QA disposition.
For institutional clients and grocery chains, production operates on monthly rolling forecasts with fixed weekly draw schedules. This ensures continuous sourcing of fresh raw milk and packaging inputs aligned with daily shipping cycles, eliminating staging bottlenecks and preserving maximum freshness.
Given the 6-day shelf-life window, overland export is strictly constrained to adjacent border zones possessing pre-cleared green customs channels within 24 hours. For GCC destinations, temperature-controlled air freight is recommended to retain a viable 4-day retail display life on arrival.
The 946ml bottles utilize tamper-evident threaded HDPE closures engineered with dedicated sealing rings. Tested under transit vibration and hydrostatic head standards, this packaging configuration prevents seal rupture, milk leakage, and secondary microbial contamination during pallet handling.
