Footnotes

f1

F0 is the calculated killing effect on bacterial spores. An F0 value of 3, 00 means that the coldest point in the product has been heated sufficiently to achieve the same killing effect as 121 °C (250 °F) in three minutes with instantaneous heating and chilling.

f2

UHT = Ultra High Temperature treatment at 132 °C for at least one second.

f3

HTST = High Temperature Short Time pasteurisation at 72 °C for at least 15 seconds or equivalent pasteurisation effect achieving a negative reaction to a phosphatase test.
