Hezar Pasteurized Chocolate Milk Bottle

This SKU is a short-shelf-life pasteurized fresh dairy product (10-15 days) requiring an unbroken cold chain maintained between 4°C and 8°C from dispatch through distribution and retail display. Thermal fluctuations exceeding 8°C accelerate psychrotrophic bacterial spoilage and destabilize the cocoa emulsion, leading to syneresis and souring.

The standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is 100 shrink-wrapped master packs for refrigerated domestic transit. Bottles are secured in heavy-duty shrink packs to endure regional freight vibrations. For bulk cold-storage transport, units are stacked on standard 100x120 cm wooden or plastic pallets, reinforced with edge protectors and pallet wrap, dispatched exclusively via temperature-controlled reefers.

The industrial recipe utilizes permissible food-grade stabilizers such as carrageenan to build a thixotropic colloidal network within the milk matrix, keeping cocoa solids evenly suspended. Because genuine alkalized cocoa powder is utilized, gentle shaking of the bottle before serving is recommended to re-homogenize any minor gravitational settling without compromising viscosity.

The fat content is standardized between 1.5% and 2.0% (semi-skimmed profile), while total sugars are balanced around 7% to 9% to complement the natural bitterness of alkalized cocoa. This ratio delivers a palatable sensory balance, adequate dietary energy, and complies with national school nutrition and dairy health directives.

Yes, all bottles are blow-molded from certified virgin Food-Grade PET/HDPE polymers free from BPA and hazardous plasticizers, complying fully with national health protocols. The material exhibits minimal organic migration limits into fatty dairy media and integrates cleanly into standard municipal and industrial polymer recycling loops.

HTST pasteurization treats milk at 72–75°C for 15–20 seconds, eliminating all pathogens while preserving heat-sensitive whey proteins and delivering a fresh, natural dairy flavor. Consequently, it demands continuous chilling and has a short shelf life, unlike UHT processing (135–140°C), which sterilizes milk for ambient storage but introduces cooked flavor notes.

Wholesale accounts must document the lot/batch code printed on the cap alongside temperature data logger readouts from the transport unit to verify unbroken cold-chain compliance. If laboratory re-testing of retention samples confirms a processing fault rather than logistic heat abuse, credit notes or replacement stocks are promptly issued.
