PASTEURIZER CHART FOR FLUID MILK AND
OTHER DAIRY PRODUCTS
"Pasteurized" when used to describe a dairy product means that every particle of such product shall have been heated in properly operated equipment to one of the temperatures specified in the table of this paragraph and held continuously at or above the temperature for the specified time (or other time/temperature relationship which has been demonstrated to be equivalent thereto in microbial destruction).
Minimum pasteurization times and temperatures for milk and milk products are:
PRODUCT TEMPERATURE TIME
Milk and lowfat milks and 630C (1450F) 30 minutes
non-fat milk (uncondensed). 720C (1610F) 15 seconds
890C (1910F) 1 second
900C (1940F) 0.5 second
40C (2010F) 0.1 second
960C (2040F) 0.05 second
1000C (2120F) 0.01 second
Milk Products containing 10% 660C (1500F) 30 minutes
milk products with sweeteners 750C (1660F) 15 seconds
and condensed milk, condensed 890C (1910F) 1 second
whey and similar products. 900C (1940F) 0.5 second
940C (2010F) 0.1 second
960C (2040F) 0.05 second
1000C (2120F) 0.01 second
Frozen dessert mixes,
eggnog and 690C (1550F) 30 minutes
products of similar viscosity. 800C (1750F) 25 seconds
830C (1800F) 15 seconds
890C (1910F) 1 second
900C (1940F) 0.5 second
940C (2010F) 0.1 second
960C (2040F) 0.05 second
1000C (2120F) 0.01 second
Note: It is recommended that the minimum pasteurization time/temperature combinations be exceeded where possible.
