The statement is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pasteurization or pasteurization is a method in which packaged and non-packaged foods (such as milk and fruit juice) are employed with mild heat (<100 °C) to reduce pathogens and extend shelf-life. The process is designed to decrease decay organisms and reduce vegetative bacteria but not bacterial spores. Today, pasteurization is done extensively in the dairy industry and other food processing industries to produce food preservation and food protection.

If this is a true or false the answer is true. Pasteurization is the process of heating a substance up to 60-90 degrees Celsius in order to kill the harmful organisms like virus, protozoa and bacteria. Hope this is the right answer and would then be of help.
