We are LOVING the Horizon Organic Single Serves - which has a shelf life of about 2 months! We keep some in the diaper bag and in the car. One sale they cost about $1 each which is about the same as a small single carton but saves you having to run into a grocery store for a cold version when needed.
Quoting horizonorganic.com, here’s why the Horizon Organic milk has such a long shelf life:
Single serve milks are packaged in aseptic tetrapaks and unopened will keep at room temperature up to seven months or until the date code. The milk is pasteurized using UHT or ultra-high temperature process which is similar to UP or ultra-pasteurization, in which the milk is heated to >280° F for 2-3 seconds, but packaged in a sterile environment thus extending its shelf life. The package itself is durable, lightweight, convenient for transport, and uses low energy and few materials. It is recyclable at any local program that accepts aseptic packages.
