Single-Serve Shelf-Stable Milks

These Maple Hill Organic Milks Come in Two Flavor Options

— September 5, 2019 — Marketing
The Maple Hill Organic single-serve milks have been unveiled as a new product created in partnership with Switzerland packaging producer SIG Combibloc to offer consumers a convenient option. Shelf-stable and organic, the milks come in eight ounce cartons and feature a spout that can be easily identified as not suitable for consumption if it has been tampered with. The drink doesn't need to be refrigerated until it's opened, which makes it a highly convenient product for consumers who lead fast-paced lifestyles or who need a lunch-friendly option for kids.

The Maple Hill Organic single-serve milks were explained by Carl Gerlach, President and CEO of Maple Hill who said, "There has not been an innovation in shelf-stable milk for years. For the first time ever, consumers will be able to get 100% grass-fed whole milk and chocolate milk on the shelf and in eco-friendly packaging. SIG has been an integral partner in bringing this product to the market in the right way.”
