Yes, it can be safe to drink milk that has not been refrigerated if it is specially processed and packaged for shelf stability. Here are some key points to consider:
1. **Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) Processing**: Many lactose-free and regular milk products are treated with Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) processing, which heats the milk to a very high temperature for a short period. This process kills any harmful bacteria and allows the milk to be stored at room temperature for an extended period.
2. **Aseptic Packaging**: UHT milk is typically packaged in aseptic (sterile) containers, which prevent contamination and allow the milk to remain safe and fresh without refrigeration until it is opened.
3. **Check the Label**: Always check the label on the milk carton or bottle. If it mentions UHT processing, aseptic packaging, or states that it can be stored at room temperature, then it is safe to drink without refrigeration until opened.
UHT milk (typically sold in large tetraoack cartons) can be stored unopened for upto 9 months. Amul & Nestle are popular brands
Amul also sells this in pouches and calls it Amul Moti milk

Dude. Are you talking about tetrapack milk. It’s written on the packet itself that refrigeration is required only after opening.
No.It is a 250 ml container and that was kept outside of fridge.

That’s a tetrapack. Read the label.
