UHT Pasteurization in Ready-to-Feed Formulas

What Is UHT Pasteurization—and Why It Matters in Baby Formula?

When it comes to choosing the best nutrition for your little one, every detail matters—from the ingredients to how the formula is processed. One term you may have come across on your Kendamil or HiPP packaging is UHT, short for Ultra-High-Temperature pasteurization. But what exactly does that mean, and why is it important?

Let’s break it down.

What is UHT Pasteurization?

UHT pasteurization is a method that heats milk or cream to a temperature of 138–150°C (280–302°F) for just a few seconds. This quick but intense heat treatment eliminates harmful bacteria while preserving most of the milk's natural flavor and nutrients.

The milk is then packed into sterile, airtight containers, which means it can stay fresh for months without refrigeration—as long as it remains unopened.

Why Use UHT Milk?

For parents, it also means more convenience. UHT formulas can be stored easily, which is especially helpful for travel or stocking up without worrying about refrigeration until the container is opened.
