Review: Essential for folks who like milk or not - This milk is perfect for those of us who don't drink much milk but need to keep it on hand for the occasional bowl of cereal or for certain recipes. It is IDEAL for bad weather when power outages are likely. It is shelf stable and has a few months storage life. It is real milk, so it tastes like real milk and has the texture of real milk. It IS real milk. I've used it for years and used to get it at the grocery store. They no longer carry it, so thank goodness for desertcart! It is always in my fridge (although it could be in my cabinet instead). It is a bit more expensive than bottled milk, but if you normally use just a bit of the bottle and throw away the rest, this boxed milk will save you money in the long run.
Review: 1% w/ Great Taste & Texture, Totes Well & Good Backup At Home-Short Shelf Life So Don’t Over Stock - This Organic Horizon low-fat milk is 1% with 2.5g fat per 8 oz and 110 calories. This is shelf stable (only need to refrigerate if opened) but still has the same taste and texture as fresh milk from the dairy section of the grocery store. These cartons have peel open tops as well as straws and are convenient backup for when I run out refrigerated milk and don’t want to make a special trip to the store just for milk. The cartons travel well for work to use in coffee, with cereal, etc., and these are perfect for school lunches too. I’m happy with the quality and convenience of this milk. I don’t stock up on shelf stable milk and buy as the small cartons I buy tend to have a short shelf life. However, it should still have a number of months (not weeks) before expiration. Dates vary but the Horizon milk I received has 5 months until expiration, which is reasonable and similar to the shelf life left when I’ve bought Organic Valley 1% milk cartons. I suggest checking price on both brands as this Horizon milk is a currently a superior value to 1% Organic Valley at about half the price for 18 instead of 12 cartons that are 8 oz each rather 6.75 oz. Will buy Horizon again. 5 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how is this milk preserved so it can be on a shelf?**
A: Science! :)Ok so there are primarily three things that make milk go "bad" (which is actually just a chemical change with some unsavory smells and flavor)- sunlight, airborne microorganisms, and bacteria present in the milk.Sunlight breaks down vitamin A and D when the electromagnetic energy is transformed into kinetic energy causing the large molecules to break apart or change shape. The way around this is to use a package which contains a layer of foil that light can't penetrate. Normal milk containers don't do this which is one reason why milk in the fridge has a shorter shelf life.Secondly airborne microorganisms and contaminates are eliminated by packaging the milk in a completely sterile environment. This is commonly referred to as aseptic packaging.  The most common form of aseptic packaging is a box made from layers of polyethylene (plastic), aluminum foil, and cardboard. The plastic keeps the package airtight, the foil keeps out light, and the cardboard makes it easier to transport (gives it shape.)But before you can put it in the box for storage of 6-9 months which many European countries have been doing for decades you have to sterilize the milk. This is done by a process of pasteurization which was invited by  French scientist Louis Pasteur during the nineteenth century. "Regular" milk is pasteurized by heating it to a temperature hot enough to kill all or most of the pathogens aka bacteria. This technique ranges in temperature and time of exposure but is usually completed between 140-163°F with shorter times at higher temperatures to make sure the milk is not harmed, however, there is a process called UHT pasteurization. UHT or Ultra High Temperature pasteurization works the same way but the milk is only heated for 2 seconds as opposed to some longer times like 30 minutes at 140°F. UHT pasteurization temperatures range around 275°F and then rapidly cooled but the brilliant thing about this is that it not only kills all of the bacteria it also kills spores so nothing starts growing.So long story short... Sterilize the milk using UHT pasteurization, package it in a completely sterile box layered to keep out air and light, and viola you can store milk for at room temperature for 6-9 months! Horizon's chocolate milk is great!

**Q: Does this need to be refrigerated and how long is shelf life?**
A: Shelf stable milk lasts up to 6 to 9 months, unopened in a cool, dark, dry storage pantry. Once opened, it needs refrigeration and should be consumed within 7 days.

**Q: Why is the price so highf, almost double compare to local stores around the area?  I'm specifically looking for plain milk.**
A: I keep watch between amazon and the local stores, they alternate who has it on sale and I buy when the cost is less than $1 each milk.  I’ve gotten the 18 pack around 13.99 from amazon and can’t beat that in a store, just keep checking.

**Q: Why is your prices so higher before is lower prices? like around $16.00 ???**
A: supply & demand

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Portability and size is perfect
*by 7***N on June 16, 2026*

I have found that these s/s (shelf stable) cartons of milk are great traveling companions when organic milk is not available at your destination, for example, a cruise. Or to a relative’s home. They pack easily and so far have been secure (no spilt milk (haha)). I just placed an order and will leave these at my relative’s home for access to me when I visit. What I have yet to try is freezing a carton to defrost to be used after defrosting, for example in a lunchbox. I know it will expand, but will it burst? Stay tuned — will update at a later date.
