microfiltered
Passed through mesh
Microfiltered describes something that has been passed through a filter with microscopic pores, typically to remove bacteria, sediments, or other fine particles.
The term appears most often with beverages: microfiltered beer, microfiltered water, microfiltered milk.
The process can extend shelf life or improve clarity without heat treatment.
