Dutch Lady Fresh Milk
948 days agoHoooray, I am back with yet another one of those super interesting fresh milk review. Well, this is not exactly fresh milk but pasteurised milk which have been heated treated and packed. Of course, this does not mean that pasteurised milk is actually healthier for you than let’s say raw milk. Raw milk is definitely the best milk for you, but we can’t find it in Singapore. Since we have no choice in the matter, pasteurised milk is the next best option. The UHT (Ultra Heat Treated) milk is like “dead milk” in which quite a lot of the nutrients and vitamins present in milk have been destroyed by the high heat process. It is sad that a lot of Singaporeans believe that UHT milk is just as good as the pasteurised milk. I have seen people buying them in the cartons, most likely for their kids or for themselves.
Anyway, I am here to review the Dutch Lady Fresh Milk. I no longer consume low fat or skim milk anymore as we all know that a lot of the nutrients in milk is in the milk “fat”. So getting rid of the milk “fat” in milk is pointless, in my opinion. Might as well don’t drink milk. It is also good to know that the longer the milk have been kept in the shelves, the lower the amounts of nutrients in the milk. This is inevitable as the nutrients will “escape” from the milk.
Check it out – Dutch Lady Fresh Milk. Don’t worry, the milk inside this milk box is not green in colour. The label on the box is misleading. The milk is pure white in order to make the milk appealing to consumers, as all pasteurised milk are. Raw milk is slightly yellowish in colour, which is what milk should be.
Pasteurised “Fresh” Milk!
100% Fresh Malaysian Milk! Ya! I am surprised that Malaysia has quite a big dairy industry. In fact, even Indonesia and Thailand both have big dairy industries, but they are not very popular in Singapore. We usually get Australian or New Zealand dairy products here, which I think is okay. No offense to our neighbours, but when it comes to dairy products, I trust Australia and New Zealand more.
Here we have the nutrition table. Nothing too impressive.
For maximum freshness, store pack between 0°C and 4°C. Once opened, keep refrigerated. Wait a minute, won’t the milk freeze when subjected to 0°C environments?
Yup, manufactured in Malaysia! Dutch Lady is a brand of friesland foods.
Nothing special about this brand of Malaysia. I normally use milk to make Kefir or yogurt, so in the end, the taste doesn’t matter. I am more interested in the nutritional value of the milk, which for most milk in Singapore, is not good. Commercial milk manufacturers seemed more interested in making money than producing good quality milk, which could be the main reason why Singaporeans and a lot of other people in other countries are suffering from poor health.
[...] much deliberation we have made up our mind that when we’re home Dutch Lady Fresh Milk Ryan will drink. We need the luggage space anyway. So we are not lugging cans of formula going [...]
Water freezes at 0 degree C. Milk freezes at a temperature slightly lower than water because of the presence of lactose and other constituent. Milk with no water added freezes at -0.540 degree C. So no worries, your milk wont freezes at 0 degree C.
I’m worrying whether the milk I consume is actually fresh milk or not, I always buy Dutch Lady fresh milk too, not those full cream or low fat, I just need it FRESH.
but doesn’t it strike u as odd? I mean the expired date of the milk, it’s too long..
unlike HL which cant stand for over 2 weeks?
Did you ever find a raw milk source in S’pore? We will most likely move there from the US, and I dread not having decent milk. I already expect to never eat cheese, which makes me sad.
