Packed milk is not made using chemicals, but it is processed using chemicals. It undergoes process of pasteurisation to free it of any micro-organisms and to keep it that way for some time. It is also kept frozen until it reaches consumers. Also milk from so many cows is mixed. If the cows are given hormone injections for producing more milk, that will have impact on milk quality. Moreover most milk brands pack milk in plastic packets, which could impact milk quality. Tetra packs are better. For a sick person, it is best to have fresh milk of one cow.
