Check information
Seal instead of leaving open
After opening, the packaging should be cleaned and sealed tightly. Strong-smelling foods should be stored separately whenever possible.
When shopping, it helps to compare specific products rather than general buzzwords. Ingredients, processing, storage, and composition each answer different questions. Individual health restrictions cannot be assessed generally from this.
The right temperature
Adhere to the specified refrigerator temperatures. The refrigerator door is often exposed to greater temperature fluctuations.

Smell is not a safety test
Pathogens do not have to cause a noticeable odor. If there are doubts about the cold chain or shelf life, do not decide by tasting.

Making conscious choices about special foods
In our interactions with customers, we experience that people take an interest in their nutrition for different reasons—sometimes also during physically demanding phases of life. Such personal motivations are not scientific evidence of health effects. DON DONKEY’S® considers donkey milk a special food, not a medicine or medical nutritional supplement.
For raw milk, official recommendations for safe heating are particularly important. People in risk groups must exercise special caution. Please follow the product information and seek professional advice for medical conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check on the packaging?
Product name, ingredients, nutritional values, processing, shelf life, and storage. This information is more informative than a single marketing claim.
Is donkey milk automatically easier to tolerate?
No. A generally better tolerance has not been proven. Donkey milk contains lactose and milk proteins; if you have an intolerance or allergy, an individual assessment is necessary.
Can raw milk be used without concern?
No. Raw milk may contain pathogens and should be heated safely according to official recommendations.
