Among the countries which could make use of UHT milk are Somalia. Senegal. Haiti. Honduras. Peru. and Zimbabwe. Of these. Somalia is particularly important. It is in the middle of a serious food shortage and drought. it has few reconstitution facilities for nonfat dry milk and little refrigeration capacity. Yet. it badly needs fluid milk and other supplemental food to feed both its citizens and over 700.000 Ethiopian refugees in camps throughout the country. The special characteristics of UHT milk are developed by a heat treatment process which renders milk commercially sterile. It is then placed in containers through an aseptic filling process and is packaged in hermetically sealed containers.
