Byrne Dairy, a Central New York staple since the Great Depression, is revolutionizing the milk industry with aseptic milk that lasts up to 13 months without refrigeration.
Produced at its DeWitt facility, this milk is sterilized with steam at 285 degrees, eliminating bacteria and allowing it to be stored at room temperature.
The shelf-stable milk is gaining attention from schools and companies, with benefits including reduced waste, fewer deliveries, and cost savings.
Byrne Dairy hopes to inspire broader adoption of this innovation, which maintains the same nutritional value as traditional milk.
