However if you buy the Fully Skimmed UHT milk you don't get that problem because all the fat has been removed.
I've currently got six litres of it in my fridge and use two to three litres a week, then buy another two or three cartons each week at Tesco. Since it keeps for ages it doesn't matter if it's a fortnight old, it's still perfectly good.

Interesting - I havn't tried the fully skimmed variety, thanks for that

It must be safe or they would have found out, by now
I imagine some thingies get through the filter membane, though - the pores have to be large enough to let the proteins, fats & sugars through & some viri are very small....
- as with pasteurisation, it's a case of reducing the numbers of bugs, rather than removing them all completely
