We opened this milk can a couple of days ago and realised that it had expired over the weekend.
I don't think I checked the expiry date we'll before we purchased it. We had 2 more cans, so the coffee and breakfast went ahead as planned.
Do you know what we can do with expired milk. It's not curdled or smelling bad.

If it is not curdled or smelling bad, forget the expiring date and use it soon.

@pitstop I always do that. I place a drop on my index, lick it. If it tastes like milk, I drink it all. If it is curled, Luna gets it. And she does not get ill. My grandma used to make cheese with curled milk but I´d rather buy cottage cheese or the like.

You probably can use it if it doesn't smell bad. Have a good week.

Not sure exactly. I don't think I'd drink it. I'd probably bathe in it.

Just for future reference, the expiration date has absolutely nothing to do with the freshness. It's a "sell by" date. I have used eggs several weeks past expiration and there is nothing wrong with them. I also worked in the food industry, having worked for Coca-Cola, Kraft Foods, and Nestle—so I know a bit about what expiration dates actually mean and who they are for. Hint: They are not for you. lol

If it is not curdling or smelling bad, it's good. You can use it exactly as you would any milk. The expiration date is more to do with the last date it can be sold than when it goes bad. If it smells right and otherwise there's nothing wrong with it, it's as good as any milk before the date will be. The only different thing I'd do is use it faster.
