Summary
We liked this because it is fresh tasting, has a natural milky sweetness and has no added sugars. Packed attractively and conveniently, this Marvel Spiderman toned milk by Keventer will be a good, healthy addition to your child’s snack pack/tiffin. The level of fortification (Vitamins A and D) is as per FSSAI’s standard.
Milk is a complete food source. Not only does it provide balanced proportions of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, but milk also has a pretty impressive nutritional profile, in terms of micronutrients like vitamins and minerals.
Toned milk offers more or less the similar nutrients like calcium, potassium, B vitamins among others. It is made by diluting full fat/full cream milk with skimmed milk and water.

Our Review Factors
What are we looking for? An attractive, kid-friendly tetra pack holding fortified toned milk with a desirable consistency, fresh taste and natural milky sweetness. We also checked its ingredient list and nutritional information.
Here are the factors we tested the Keventer Marvel Spiderman Delights Toned Milk on –
1. Taste and Aroma
Any unflavored, unsweetened milk has a natural lactose-like sweetness which is considered desirable. The fresh milky taste and aroma is what we were looking for. It should not be sour to taste or smell.
2. Consistency
The consistency of toned milk is not as thick as full-fat milk, but isn’t watery either. What is the consistency of this toned milk?
3. Ingredients
The ingredient list mentions Milk Solids as the only ingredient. As we all know that milk is primarily made of water. When milk is dried/the water content is removed from milk, what remains are called milk solids.
4. Nutritional Information
Said to be fortified with Vitamin A and D, we checked the nutritional information provided on the pack including calories, fat, total sugar and calcium.
What is fortified milk? Milk that contains added vitamins/minerals that are not found naturally in significant quantities or are lost during processing is called fortified milk.
Why is it important? Our diets often lack a proper balance of micronutrients which lead to a lot of vitamin deficiencies and health problems. An economical solution to bridge that gap is through food fortification.
Milk is fortified with Vitamin A and Vitamin D. It is considered as a good carrier for fortification because Vitamin A & D are fat soluble and Vitamin D helps in proper absorption of calcium.
As per the FSSAI standards, milk needs to be fortified with Vitamin A and D at a level of 270 µg RE – 450 µg RE per liter and 5 µg -7.5 µg per liter, respectively.
5. Other Parameters
Price
How is this priced in comparison to other tetra packs of toned milk?
Packaging
Owing to the fact that this is targeted at kids, is the packaging attractive? Is there a straw with the pack?
Shelf life
The average shelf life of an unopened tetra pack of homogenized UHT treated milk can be between 6-9 months. What is the shelf life of this pack?
