Convenient 24-packs of shelf-stable single serve organic milk have been introduced by Organic Valley Family of Farms, America's leading cooperative of organic family farmers.
"Organic Valley's new 24-pack of shelf stable single serve milk gives health-conscious parents the convenience they need for their families' on-the-go lifestyles and requires no sacrifice of taste," said Sara Tedeschi, Organic Valley Community Nutrition Educator. "Anywhere a juice box can go, Organic Valley's delicious single serve shelf stable organic milks can go. Kids love them!"
Organic Valley single serves are available in shelf-stable containers that don't need refrigeration. Said Tedeschi, "Shelf stable packaging allows parents to give their children organic milk any time, anywhere, without all the worry of keeping it cold. And now with the 24-pack, there always will be enough on hand."
The shelf-stable packaging process keeps the milk so safe and fresh it can be stored at room temperature for up to six months until opened. While many people may still prefer to chill their milk before drinking, this product offers flexible "out-of-the-fridge" storage for families and retailers. Shelf-stable milk has long been accepted throughout Europe.
Organic Valley's single serves come in Holstein-patterned containers that are made out of 70% high quality paperboard, 24% polyethylene, and 6% aluminum. These sturdy, lightweight containers use 60% less plastic than other forms of packaging, and require less energy to manufacture, fill, ship and store than almost any other packaging. They received the Presidential Award for Sustainable Development in 1996.
Low in fat (1%), Organic Valley's shelf stable milk is based on the USDA's recommendations for children's milk. It comes in two flavors, chocolate and plain, and both flavors come in individual 8-ounce containers, as well as convenient 4-packs and new 24-packs. Like all Organic Valley milk, single serves are produced according to national organic standards without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones or pesticides.
