Small Packages Can Be Practical
For smaller consumption, appropriate portion sizes can help reduce food waste. Storage instructions, refrigerator temperature, and shelf life after opening are important.

Making Conscious Choices About Specialty Foods
In our interactions with customers, we see that people turn to their diet for various reasons—sometimes also during physically demanding phases of life. Such personal motivations are not scientific evidence of health benefits. DON DONKEY’S® considers donkey milk a specialty food, not a medicine or medical food.
For raw milk, official recommendations for safe heating are particularly important. People in risk groups must exercise special caution. Please read the product information and seek professional advice if you have any medical conditions.
