All Horizon Organic dairy products begin with pasteurized, organic milk. Pasteurization is the process of heating milk to make it bacteriologically safe and to increase its keeping quality. All Horizon Organic unflavored milks, as well as creams, are certified kosher. Best of all, there is no difference in the nutritive value and the delicious taste of Horizon Organic milk so many consumers have come to favor. Homogenization breaks up and disperses the milkfat throughout the milk, resulting in a smooth, uniform texture.
Fortification involves the addition of one or more vitamins, protein or minerals.
Since enough vitamin A is naturally present in whole milk, we fortify Horizon Organic whole milk with vitamin D only. How to avoid milk heat shock. Horizon Organic Dairy. All Rights Reserved.
