To prevent bacteria growth and spoilage, milk, cheese, and yogurt should be refrigerated at temperatures below 40°F (4°C). This practice ensures freshness and safety, slows spoilage and contamination, and helps maintain the quality and taste of these perishable foods, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses.
Ice gel packs are an essential solution for keeping dairy products cool and fresh during transportation and storage. These packs contain a special gel that freezes and remains cold for extended periods, maintaining a consistent temperature within the desired range. Ideal for dairy products like milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt, ice gel packs help prevent spoilage by inhibiting bacterial growth and slowing down the degradation process.
Gel packs are preferred over traditional ice because they are reusable, non-toxic, and don’t create excess water when thawing, which can potentially damage packaging or product integrity. They are designed to fit neatly in insulated containers, ensuring optimal temperature retention and protecting dairy products during both short and long hauls.
