AFPPA takes lead in healthy food and hygiene
Recently the controversy regarding purity of mineral water has further fuelled the concern about hygiene in the masses. Also, the Delhi Government’s proposed initiative of banning the junk food at school canteens is another step, which has highlighted the need for healthy & hygienic food. The factor that plays the important part in maintaining the hygiene & healthy benefit of milk is its processing and packaging. Consumers are not aware of the benefits of the technology, which delivers safe, natural and hygienic food.
This was the background under which The Aseptic Food Processing & Packaging Industry Association of India (AFPPA) was born in the year 2002 so that in the processing of the fruits and milk and other similar products most hygienic, safe and international standard of packaging could be adopted which aseptic packaging ensured. As Government opinion is one of the most influencing factor for the industry behavior and practice, AFPPA keeps this as one of the most crucial objective of its functioning. Aseptic packaging is the surest way of maintaining the healthy deliverability of milk: Milk is the most important intake for a child’s balanced diet. It has also become a cause of concern for the mother. Aseptic packaging is the surest way of maintaining the healthy deliverability of milk. The aseptically packaged milk is usually referred to as U.H.T Milk. It has been specially processed and packaged so that it can by transported and stored without refrigeration. U.H.T. stands for Ultra High Temperature.
Many companies like Nestle India, Britannia, Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Fed. Ltd., (Amul), Mother Dairy, Punjab State - Verka Milk, Jaipur Dairy, Tropicana Beverages, Pepsi Cola India, Hindustan Coca Cola Limited (Coke), Godrej, HLL, Dabur Foods are using the benefits of Aseptic packaging.

There is a growing consciousness of the importance of healthy food and hygiene. The mother is taking a hard-long look at food & beverage her child is consuming. The samosa or noodles in the school canteen or the neighborhood juice-wala is no longer looked at as the ‘complete healthy-hygienic’ food for her child. She has awakened to the fact that lot of what her family is consuming is not healthy & hygienic because of the way the food has been processed, packaged, transported or stored. 
Aseptic packaging means that after the milk has been sterilized it is packaged in such a way that no outside bacteria or contaminants can come into contact with the milk after it has gone through the U.H.T. process.
