We have had contracts with Tetra Pak before and the technology of the equipment means that the product has a six-month unopened shelf life, said a Milk Link spokeswoman.

Moo is available in skimmed, semi-skimmed and whole milk UHT. Milk Link is owned by 2,400 farmers and is the UKs fourth largest integrated dairy business.

Moo is the groups first branded product.
