Filed a formal complaint citing repeated instances. Whoopie shit... they gave me a whopping $4.00 credit for future purchases.

Paying more but sticking to waxed cardboard 1/2 gallon cartons... they've been trouble free as previously mentioned. It's the plastic gallon jugs that suck the wazoo.

I buy organic half & half. For my coffee. It seems to last forever.

If the milk is just starting to turn sour, make pancakes or waffles with the milk.

Possibly because it's Ultra Pasteurized, which WILL cause it to "last forever" beyond what normally pasteurized milk or cream would last.

Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Does exposure to light affect the milk's shelf life?


I think so, all of the milk at Publix (most of it fu-fu or specialty types/brands and some normal) have much longer expiration dates than the ones in the clear plastic and I'm sure the store brand in the clear plastic outsells any of the others due to price.

If you go through it quickly like we do, the shorter expiration dates don't matter, and your milk is less expensive!

On the other hand, the milk we usually get comes in translucent jugs, and I just finished one yesterday that was 2 days past expiration date, and it was still fine. I don't have any answers on this topic; only more confusing data...

I actually worked for Publix when I was 14. In the walk in milk cooler, there was a chart and the colder your refrigerator is, the longer it would last by a lot longer.

"One study found that the temperature in your refrigerator greatly affects how long your milk stays good past the listed date. Simply by reducing the refrigerator temperature from 43°F (6°C) to 39°F (4°C), the shelf life was lengthened by 9 days (8Trusted Source)."

I had the same experience with 3 different companies. Now, I just use coconut milk.
