DH and I bought some Chocolate milk over the weekend. While drinking some this morning I noticed that its ultra pasturized .. Is it safe while pregnant? I have read on line and got mixed reviews.

Ultra pasteurized should be safer if anything. There are three different ways of pasteurizing milk, which I won't go into, but UHT (ultra high temp, which is what you have) kills the most. They use it almost everywhere else in the world. It creates some 'cooked' flavors, so Americans don't prefer it. Since we're closer to the source of our dairy, and can tolerate a shorter shelf life, we tend to pasteurize less.
That make sense? Sorry... I have two degrees in food science.

Any milk you buy at the grocery store is going to be okay to drink pretty much...
it's called a kilt, he's scottish
PP's are exactly right. It is safe to quite safe.
And hopefully it is delicious. Pass a glass this way...
