Damdaran Pasteurized Low-Fat Pouch Milk 1.5% 900ml

The product is shipped in food-grade perforated plastic crates holding 20 to 24 pouches (18 to 21.6 liters net). Slotted crate designs are strictly required to ensure uniform cold-air circulation throughout palletized freight and eliminate pouch rupture during transport.

Pasteurized milk demands an unbroken cold chain of 1°C to 4°C. Exposure to ambient temperatures above 6°C accelerates lactic acid bacterial proliferation, drastically reducing practical shelf life. Reefer trucks equipped with calibrated data loggers are mandatory for inter-depot transit.

Due to its 5 to 7-day shelf life, cross-border trade is viable only for adjacent border markets where transit, inspection, and shelf placement take under 24 hours. For international export over longer routes, shelf-stable UHT milk is the industry standard recommendation.

Wholesale distribution commences at 50 crates (~1,000 pouches) per route delivery. Commercial credit accounts are established upon financial solvency verification, while spot orders benefit from volume-tiered cash discounts through authorized commercial channels.

The packaging uses a 3-layer co-extruded polyethylene film engineered with an internal carbon-black barrier layer. This shields the milk from UV and visible light rays, effectively stopping light-induced lipid oxidation and riboflavin degradation.

Every production lot undergoes rigorous laboratory assays: fat content (Gerber method), Solids-Not-Fat (SNF), Dornic acidity titrations, alcohol stability, alkaline phosphatase verification (ensuring pasteurization efficacy), and coliform counts prior to certificate of analysis (COA) sign-off.

Receiving inspectors must cross-examine refrigerated data logs and crate integrity upon arrival alongside the carrier. In case of pouch breaches or documented thermal excursions, a formal Non-Conformance Report (NCR) is processed for prompt credit adjustment or replenishment.
