# 58.919 Pre-heat, pasteurization.

When pasteurization is intended or required by either the vat method, HTST method, or by the HHST method it shall be accomplished by systems and equipment meeting the requirements outlined in § 58.128. Pre-heat temperatures prior to ultra pasteurization will be those that have the most favorable effect on the finished product.
