Milk with the water taken out by spray-drying. Removing the water is the preservation; keeping it out is the whole job of the container.
How long it keeps
Unopened, this keeps 5 years — which is what puts it on the long shelf.
| As sold | Unopened, in the cupboard | Once opened |
|---|---|---|
| as sold | 3–5 years | 3 months |
Counted from the date on the package. Figures are the USDA FSIS FoodKeeper table's, for unopened storage at room temperature; FoodKeeper counts a month as 30 days.
FoodKeeper's own note: 3 - 5 year timetable based on cool temperatures, dark storage. May spoil as quickly as 3 months in hot temperatures.
The table was not pulled from USDA — fsis.usda.gov answers 403 to non-browser clients from this machine — so it came from a mirror of the data.gov dataset and its vintage is unverified. Treat a single figure as indicative, not as a use-by date.
