MT=Must be pulled 12 days past pasteurization. Exemptions include grade A raw milk, if sold directly to the consumer, and ultra-pasteurized products.

NC-Processors select an expiration date, after which the product will not be sold.

NH-A code date is used to identify when the product was manufactured.

NJ-Shelf-life expiration date is set by the processor based on bacteriologic and organoleptic evaluation, which is reviewed by the State Department.

If it crumbles when you pour it into hot coffee, you shouldn't drink it. Also, lumps = not good.

Even when it spoils, it only has spoilage microorganisms in it. There's still a damn good chance you wouldn't get sick from eating/drinking it, but you probably just wouldn't want to.

i cleaned out our block's fridge the other day. Two thirds of the milk in there was out of date. Some by over a month. It was absolutely disgusting.

Milk is supposed to last 7 days after the sell by date.

But once you open the container, oxygen gets in.

So really, you have about 7 days from the time the container was openned.

I usually just smell it and decide.

well maybe you should have started the thread "like a month ago"



used to have a shitty fridge that was so warm everything would go bad quicker than expected so the smell test was always a good determination hehe
now the fridge is super cold and a few days after is good still. i love milk.

You should pour a small amount into a glass and smell it, because milk gets on the outside of the bottle and starts to go bad so your just smelling the shit on the edge.
