Eli5- why can nesquick milk(chocolate strawberry etc) be stored in room temp?

Question

At the place I work the milk is shipped and stored in room temperature. What does this mean for the dairy industry?

Answer 1

Milk is almost always pasteurized, a process killing most bacteria, but retaining most taste. Room temperature storable milk is ultra heat treated (UHT) diminishing taste with the benefit of being essentially sterile. The difference is the temperature, which is way higher with UHT.
