What lasts longer, full fat or semi-skimmed long-life milk?

Last updated 31/01/2025

The name "long-life milk" is used to describe milk that’s been treated in special ways to help it last longer outside a refrigerator or cooled environment. 

Long life milk benefits are the same as any other type of milk, as it contains the same essential nutrients. 

Unopened plain white long-life milks all have a shelf life of nine months, irrespective of the fat content of the product. Once opened, be sure to consume both full fat and semi-skimmed long-life milk within seven days.
