Any milk has to be pasteurized if it is going to be sold on retail market. So yes, whole milk has been pasteurized. However. Pasteurization and the wholeness of milk are not directly related. Pasteurization is a heating process used to kill harmful germs found in milk. Whole milk is milk from which the cream has not been skimmed off- it may or may not have been pasteurized.

What is whole milk also called?

Milk sold as whole milk has been processed to reduce the fat to 3-1/4 percent. The milk is then homogenized by forcing it through small nozzles that reduce the fat globules to such a small size that they remain evenly spread throughout the milk. The homogenized whole milk is then pasturized by heating it to a high enough temperature to destroy any harmful bacteria, and then cooled and packaged for sale.
