Expired milk

The expiration date on the milk is merely the last day they can sell it. As long as the milk has been kept refrigerated it should be fine even a day or two after the date on the bottle. I am with your friend. As long as it smells ok, you should be fine drinking it.

the date put on the milk is just a guideline as when the milk may spoil.it is perfectly allright to use if it still smells o.k.most of these use by dates are just their to protect the seller.some milk may spoil before the use by date,i always smell the milk before i use it.cheers sue

I also throw milk out if it is out dated. But on the other hand, milk never last very long in my house.

You know, the date on the carton is a "sell-by" date and if your store takes proper care of their dairy products the milk should be good for another week to 10 days.

I agree with both you and your friend. I agree with you, that the date is there for a reason. However, the expiration date on the milk, or any other grocery item in a store, is not the date that it spoils. The expiration date is the last day that the store is allowed to sell the milk. So, I also agree with your friend. If the milk smells ok and taste ok, it is ok and you can still drink it.

I agree with your friend if the milk doesn't smell or doesn't taste strange it is ok to drink it. The date is there for a reason but it's not like they can really know that the milk will expire now or in 2 hours or in another 2 hours. I wouldn't drink the milk that had expired 10 days ago but they it would probably smell anyway. And the expired milk is actually cheese so its not like its bad for your health or something like that.

i will if the milk is still taste and smell good... and only expired for one day... but after the milk is expired for more than one day, i wouldn't dare to drink it anymore... it depends... i don't like to waste food and i try my very best not to throw away any food...

expired milk is not good for human consumption. it can be used in plants as a manure. i put it in plants but never drink. it can cause loose motions and infection.

I don't like milk but i do know that the date on the milk package is just an indication. So if a date is expired you can still drink milk but first always check if it' still fluent if not you know it ain't good.Normally you can drink 1-2 days after the expired date.After that you can't.

Oh no!When it is expired it should be in the trash.I don't like to tighten my belt for food.It is too dangerous to bet your health on it.You talk about food poisoning or E-coli from dairy products...it is fatal.No, for me I won't keep it.I will throw it in a heartbeat!!!

I have heard as long as you keep it properly refrigerated (not in the door) it is ok for a week or so past the due date. I have kids so milk never goes to waste here and at $4.50 a gallon, yikes!

expiry dates are only designed as a gudeline anyway, so aslong as i doesnt smell bad i still drink or eat anything past the expiry.

I agree with your friend, I would drink it if it doesn't have a bad, sour taste. Sometimes you just can't digest it 100% ok, but other than that, If I can drink it and It tastes like It always did, I think It's OK to drink it.

i personally will still drink as long as it smells and tastes ok! i wouldnt want to waste money chucking something that is perfectly fine! sell by dates are just guidelines not a deffinate

I usually throw it away. But I know some people who make some kind of cheese with it and then make a sweet dish out of that. Wel, then I guess it's not wasting food and that's good. But since I don't know how to do it, I just throw it away.

duhh...! goodness speaks! wow, your friend really drinks it? hehehe... well yeah, maybe his tummy is as very hard to get spoiled too.. hehehe.. not like me. i can't even drink fresh milk in the morning... why? for the simple reason that i always go to the comfort room and poop! my gosh... i always do that. i usually drink milk before but no, not anymore these days... but i drink milk at night, even it causes me to go to the cr, hehehe.

I will never take expired milk. I have heard expired milk is really very poisonous and also it is dangerous to take. I can never think of taking spoiled milk.

Whenever I buy milk I make sure I buy it with a date that is far enough away so that it will be used before the actual date on the container. I've never had a problem with using it up before the expiration date...I have a family of four, after all, and since we all drink milk we never had this happen. However, there was a time I bought spoiled milk from the store. I brought it home, opened it up, and it stunk. The date was good, but for some reason the milk was not. I took it back to the store and got a new one. I didn't even need a receipt, though I brought it with me anyway. Since then I always smell the milk to make sure it is okay, even if the date says it is. I'm taking no chances. :P

Look at this label the next time you buy milk, it is a "sell by" date; generally, milk which is properly stored will remain good to use upto a week past this date. The date on the carton is the last date stores should be selling it.

manufacturers says three days after expiration it should not be consumed and dispose properly.that means goods are still good up to 3days upon expiration and can be consumed.but i dont use it after expiration better safe than never.but in my experience most commodities are still good after a few day after expiration.but i dont want to risk my health on it.
