When you check out the milk in the fridge and see that it is
just a day past the expiration date, do you pitch it right away or keep it
around? If it looks and smells fine, it is perfectly safe, right?
Expiration and/or sell by dates are listed on the milk
container. It is important to identify which is listed on the milk you
typically by. If the expiration date is listed, and you see that your milk is
still in the fridge past this date, the milk might be fine, but there is no way
to be sure. A food or beverage may contain harmful bacteria that can cause
foodborne illness, even if it doesn't look or smell rancid.
How can you help deal with this issue? If you have excess
milk approaching the expiration date, freeze some in single serving containers
that you can then use as needed.
