At Doorstep Deliveries, we’re proud to deliver fresh, local milk straight to your doorstep. We know some customers are curious about raw (unpasteurised) milk and why we don’t offer it — so we wanted to explain our reasons clearly, honestly, and with your wellbeing in mind.
🔍 What Is Raw Milk?
Raw milk is milk that hasn’t been pasteurised — a heating process that kills harmful bacteria while keeping all the natural goodness intact. Some people like the idea of raw milk because it feels more “traditional,” but it also comes with risks that most customers aren’t aware of.
⚠️ Why Doorstep Deliveries Chooses Not to Sell Raw Milk
1. Your Safety Comes First
Pasteurisation protects against bacteria that can naturally occur in milk, such as E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella. These bacteria can be especially dangerous for children, pregnant women, older adults, and anyone with a weakened immune system.
We want every Doorstep Deliveries delivery to be safe for every household — no exceptions.
2. We Follow Strict UK Food Safety Standards
The UK has clear regulations around the sale of raw milk, and only a small number of farms are licensed to sell it directly. As a doorstep delivery service, we’re required to meet high safety standards, and pasteurised milk is the safest, most reliable way to do that.
3. Quality Without Compromise
Pasteurisation doesn’t reduce the nutritional value of milk — it simply makes it safer. Our milk still comes from trusted local farms within a 30‑mile radius, meaning you get:
• Freshness
• Great flavour
• High welfare standards
• A shorter, more sustainable supply chain
All without the risks associated with raw milk.
4. Consistency You Can Rely On
We want every bottle we deliver to be safe, consistent, and high quality. Pasteurised milk allows us to guarantee that, day after day, delivery after delivery.
🌱 Our Promise to You
We’re committed to offering products that are:
• Safe
• Fresh
• Local
• High quality
• Suitable for every member of your household
Choosing not to sell raw milk is part of that promise.
