Can dairy products be frozen?
When frozen and thawed, most dairy products will separate and become watery and discolored.

What would you suggest to eat or drink that is a good source of calcium?
Milk! It’s a great source of calcium and vitamin D, which the body needs to absorb calcium. If you don’t care to drink milk, there are many ways to incorporate milk or other dairy products into your diet. Whipping up a smoothie with milk, bananas and ice, or a large decaffeinated café latte (which is made with lots of milk) are easy ways to get your three servings of dairy every day. Your body needs at least 1,000 milligrams of calcium per day, which is about the amount found in three serving of dairy products.

How many milligrams of calcium are in Kemps milk?
30% RDI of calcium represents 300 milligrams of calcium per 8-ounce serving of milk.  The amount of calcium in each type of milk varies slightly.  Eight ounces of Vitamin D milk contains 290 milligrams of calcium.  Eight ounces of 2% milk contains 297 milligrams of calcium.  Eight ounces of 1% milk contains 300 milligrams of calcium.  Eight ounces of skim milk contains 302 milligrams of calcium.  The reason that minerals vary with fat type is that the minerals are part of the milk solids, NOT the fat in the milk.  As the fat goes down, milk solids go up.

Why is milk good for you?
Milk is an excellent source of calcium and Vitamin D. It’s also a good source of other nutrients, such as protein and phosphorus that are necessary for strong bones and good health. Milk doesn’t have to be fattening. If you’re concerned about fat in milk, don’t be. Kemps Fat Free Milk is a delicious and nutritious beverage choice.

How long is Kemps Sour Cream and Cottage Cheese good?
When properly refrigerated, between 33 and 40 degrees F., Kemps Sour Cream and Cottage Cheese will retain their wholesomeness for one week past the date printed on the package.

At what temperature should my freezer be set to keep my ice cream fresh?
0 degrees F or colder.

How long can you keep ice cream after it is opened?
Frozen desserts may be kept as long as 3 months (unopened) if stored at 0 degrees.  Once opened, ice cream can remain fresh for about 3 weeks. Avoid storing ice cream in the front end of the freezer, near the door, where it is constantly exposed to fluctuations in temperature.

What are Mono and Diglycerides?
They are ingredients used to provide a smooth, creamy texture and are derived from soybeans.

At what temperature should I store milk to ensure its freshness?
Dairy products must be refrigerated between 33 degrees F and 40 degrees F. It is important to note that for every 2 degrees F rise in temperature, milk’s shelf life is reduced by 50%. Pour out only the amount of milk you will use and return the container to the refrigerator immediately, resealing to prevent absorption of other flavors. Do not pour milk that has been standing at room temperature back into the container. Store it separately in a covered container.

What does ‘Homogenization’ mean?
Homogenization is the process of breaking up milk fat into smaller globules, dispensing them permanently in a fine emulsion throughout the milk. This is done in a homogenizer where milk is forced under high pressure through very tiny openings.

What does ‘Pasteurization’ mean?
Pasteurization is the process of heating raw milk to at least 145 degrees F and holding continuously for at least 30 minutes, or to at least 161 degrees F and holding for at least 15 seconds, in approved and properly operated equipment. The milk is then cooled promptly to 45 degrees F or lower. This process is done to ensure high quality and safe milk.

What is RDI or DV reference on label?
Reference Daily Intake (RDI) is the daily intake level of a nutrient that is considered to be sufficient to meet the requirements of 97-98% of healthy individuals in the United States.  The RDI is used to determine the Daily Value (DV) of foods, which is printed on nutrition facts labels (as % DV).  So for example, the RDI for Vitamin D is 20 mcg.  So on the nutrition facts panel you will see that milk has 2.5mcg, which is 10%DV or 10% of the RDI.
