How do shelf-stable beverages like cow’s milk and other similar (nut milk, muscle milk) items stay fresh so long at room temperature?

Question

If it’s due to preservatives, is it really such a good idea to drink them?

Answer 1

Just to be clear, nut milk and muscle milk are not milk. So they’re not “similar items” because they have very little in common.

Nut milk is made by grinding nuts with added water. Muscle milk is a protein shake.
