Editing Pasteurization (section)

=== Double pasteurization ===
Pasteurization is not sterilization and does not kill spores. "Double" pasteurization, which involves a secondary heating process, can extend shelf life by killing spores that have germinated.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://nikas.gr/en/faqs/what-double-pasteurization| title = What is double pasteurization?| access-date = 25 January 2021| archive-date = 23 April 2021| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210423101324/http://nikas.gr/en/faqs/what-double-pasteurization| url-status = dead}}</ref>

The acceptance of double pasteurization varies by jurisdiction. In places where it is allowed, milk is initially pasteurized when it is collected from the farm so it does not spoil before processing. Many countries prohibit the labelling of such milk as "pasteurized" but allow it to be marked "thermized", which refers to a lower-temperature process.<ref>[https://dairyprocessinghandbook.tetrapak.com/chapter/heat-exchangers Heat Exchangers] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118013909/https://dairyprocessinghandbook.tetrapak.com/chapter/heat-exchangers |date=18 January 2021 }}, Tetrapak Dairy Processing Handbook</ref>
