A significant portion of India's population now consumes packaged milk, yet it remains common practice in households to boil packaged milk before consumption.

Scientists, doctors, and dairy technologists generally advise against boiling packaged milk or pasteurised milk. Packaged milk is already treated through pasteurisation or ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing, making it germ-free and safe to drink. Boiling can actually reduce nutritional value, affecting vitamin B-complex, vitamin C, and milk proteins.

If packaged milk is fresh and properly stored after opening, it can be consumed directly.

Slight heating may be used if the milk has been left out of the refrigerator for several hours, but boiling is not required. In contrast, fresh homemade milk or milk from the milkman must be boiled, as it is unprocessed.
