§ 34004 Repasteurizing Skim Milk

• •Skim milk that has already been pasteurized can be pasteurized again, but only one more time.
• •This rule only applies to skim milk that comes from regular market milk.
• •The reason for doing this is to make sure all milk has the same consistency.

A dairy factory has some skim milk that was pasteurized yesterday. They want to mix it with fresh milk to make sure all the milk has the same fat content.

The factory can pasteurize the skim milk one more time before mixing it. This keeps everything safe and consistent.
