How is Horizon milk packaged?
Our half-gallon and quart milk cartons are constructed out of an earth-friendly, recyclable opaque paperboard. Horizon uses the safest packaging possible which is why our milk cartons do not contain harmful chemicals, such as chlorine, and are colored using food-safe water-based inks. The state-of-the-art, chlorine-free process used to whiten our paperboard results in no harmful residues, including dioxins. Gallon containers are made of recyclable #2 HDPE plastic. Their opaque-white color serves as a barrier to the ultra-violet rays of store lights, thus protecting milk’s freshness and nutritional value.
