Stremicks Heritage Foods Organic Milk FAQ's:
What is organic milk?
Organic milk is cows milk produced without the use of antibiotics or synthetic hormones in order to artificially promote milk production, and without the use of pesticides on the natural feed and grass on which the cows graze. Organic milk must comply with the standards set by National Organic Program and the producers and processors of organic milk must be certified by a third party Organic Certifier accredited by USDA.
What is 'homogenized' milk?
Homogenization is a process that our milk goes through in order to break up and disperse the fat, or cream, evenly throughout the milk. This gives the milk a consistent, smooth taste and texture. Nothing is added to the milk during this process.
What is 'ultra-pasteurized' milk?
Ultra-pasteurization is a process of heating fluid dairy products at or above 280°F for at least 2 seconds to destroy all pathogenic organisms. Ultra-pasteurized milk is packaged in a protected atmosphere in pre-sterilized containers and then kept refrigerated. The result is milk with a longer shelf life under proper refrigeration of 40°F or lower.
Why do you have such a long code date/shelf life on your organic milk?
See "What is 'ultra-pasteurized' milk?"
How long can I keep Stremicks Heritage Foods Organic Milk after opening?
We recommend that you enjoy your Stremicks Heritage Foods Organic milk within 7 to 10 days after opening. This product should be kept in refrigeration at a recommended temperature of 40° or lower at all times when it is not being used.
Can I freeze milk?
Freezing (and thawing) milk can change the flavor, consistency, and possibly the nutritional value and can also cause the carton to expand and possibly rupture when the milk expands at that temperature. We do not recommend freezing milk.
Is your milk Kosher?
Yes. All of our milk is certified Kosher.
Is your carton recyclable?
No, unfortunately milk cartons are not recyclable in US. The milk carton paper is coated with plastic liner and it is difficult to separate economically the two different types of material for recycling. However, some other countries started pilot programs of recycling milk and beverage cartons after separating out plastic material from the plastic coated paper cartons.
Why do you add vitamins A and D to your milk?
The vitamin A in milk exists in the fat portion and much of the vitamin A is removed with the milk fat during the manufacture of reduced fat milk, low fat milk and fat free milk. Consequently, these milks are required (by FDA) to be fortified with vitamin A to a level found in whole milk. Dairy processors are required to fortify to the level of 500 IU of vitamin A (10% Daily Value) per a serving or one cup.
Vitamin D fortification of milk is an important public health measure that has been largely responsible for the elimination of rickets in the U.S. A regular access to vitamin D throughout life is important to facilitate the normal absorption into the body of dietary calcium, which, in turn, is essential for normal bone health, and may diminish or prevent the onset in the elderly of the bone disease osteoporosis. Vitamin D addition to milk is optional but most of market milk is fortified to the level of 100 IU of vitamin D (25% Daily Value) per a serving or one cup.
What do I do if a carton of Stremicks Heritage Organic Milk spoils before the date printed on the top of the carton?
First, please note that the date printed on the top of the carton is considered a sell by date and once the product is opened it should be consumed within 7 to 10 days. If the product spoils within that time after opening discontinue drinking the product and please go to the contact page, fill out the form, and then submit. We will look into the issue and get back to you with a response as soon as possible.
