A plant and method of treating low-fat milk, such as skim milk, so as to obtain with a low content of spores and bacteria, wherein the milk is subject to a first microfiltration causing a separation into a first permeate, the first permeate being subjected to an additional microfiltration. This double microfiltration ensures that the acceptable limits for bacterial counts in milk products are not exceeded in case of a membrane breakdown.
