Does aseptic mean clean or sterile?
Aseptic processing doesn't create a sterile condition; it only maintains sterility. Sterile: A product that is completely free of microscopic organisms. While sterile means the complete absence of bacteria, viruses, and fungi along with spores, it doesn't distinguish between specific pathogens.
