Coffee Creamers...

[KevyWevy]

how do they not go bad at room temp.?
are they really cream?

discuss...

[bwanac]

super pasteurized?

i dont know, just a guess.

[rs4pro3]

most are artificial creamers so no milk in them to spoil.

[KevyWevy]

the ones here at work say they're half and half
but obviously, they don't have ingredients listed on them.
and i can't find the box to find that information.
i was just curious/baffled.
so if there isn't any milk in them, what do you think they are made of? soy maybe?

[One21Two]

Not sure, but I would also guess some sort of ultra refined pasteurization.

Quite the conundrum.:p

you're talking about individual serving size half and half, right? Like in the little plastic cup with a peelable foil lid? Those are shelf stabilized. Most likely in a similar fashion to Parmalat milk.

yeah thats what im talking about.
wtf is parmalat milk?

[FredK]

it's a box of milk that's stored unrefrigerated

It's done by ultra-pasteurization. Many European countries have 'long-life' milk that does not need to be refrigerated until opened, and has a very long shelf life.
