Pasteurised milk spoilage
Pasteurised milk retains microorganisms, requiring refrigeration. Despite chilling, diverse microflora cause sensory changes, limiting shelf‑life. Proper storage and handling are vital to maintain quality, safety, and consumer health.

Pasteurisation does not eliminate microorganisms from raw milk. This is the reason pasteurised milk must be refrigerated, and even then, has a relatively short shelf-life. There are a diversity of organoleptic changes that occur in pasteurised milk during chilled storage, the diversity reflects the diversity of pasteurised milk microflora and their changes during the shelf-life of the product.
