RevJim 0 #27 March 15, 2005 QuoteQuoteInstead you should be feeding the family beer Good point... But if I give them Budwieser (putting aside the "Bud's not Beer" arguements) after the "Freshness Date" date would I be a bad parent? Dooooowd! Bud has a "Born On Date". I guess that means immediatly after it is packaged, it's bad. It's your life, live it!

flyclearjohn 0 #29 March 15, 2005 QuoteQuoteSo I left the half gallon in there and poured out the two gallons. I dunno but I find it hard to trust anyone who sneaks around at 5 in the morning checking "SELL BY" dates on the milk containers And I'm up by 7 votes You're probably up by more than that when you consider 'Hell yes, I'm voting for the woman' factor. Assuming appropriate refrigeration, tossing the milk was unnecessary ...but if $5 buys peace of mind, it'sd a small price to pay and one that you may come to wish you had paid.

SpeedRacer 1 #30 March 15, 2005 The official convention in the dairy industry is: The sell-by date is the last date it can be offered for sale, but the milk is supposed to be considered fresh for at least seven days afterward (refrigerated, of course). .

jumpinfarmer 0 #32 March 15, 2005 I know a little about the subject since as a kid some of my best friends were cows. As mentioned before milk should be good for about a week after the date. Keep it cold and sealed up if you know you are going to run past the date. I don't really know how they come up with the date. The milk can be on the farm for as much as three days before it goes to the bottlers. When it reaches the plant it is tested for almost anything you could imagine. If it fails it either goes to a cheese plant, or if it's real bad down the drain. If I were you and was going to have a lot left over I would learn to make pudding or custard or something that uses a lot of milk so it didn't go to waste.

Nightingale 0 #37 March 15, 2005 just freeze it. You can stick the whole gallon in the freezer, or, what I do is pour it into an ice cube tray and cover with saran wrap, so you don't have to defrost the whole thing, you can just pop out one serving and warm it up. I don't drink milk, but I use it for cooking and baking, but the milk tastes totally the same after it thaws, provided it's skim milk. from www.dairyland-ca.com/storing.htm Milk may be frozen for as long as 3 months provided the sealed container is frozen prior to the best before date. Skim and 2% milk freeze better than Homo milk (whole milk). Thaw frozen milk in the refrigerator. The milk will still have the same nutrients, but it may separate. If it does, shake well or beat with an electric mixer or rotary beater. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PalletMan 0 #38 March 15, 2005 I drink milk very little. They need to put the year with the expiration date. --ArtSky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.
