Morrisons UK Milk no more Use By Date, but keeping Best Before
Many News headlines are
missing that they are Keeping Best Before Dates on their own milk. That is Fine |
Yuck, milk starts to turn a good day or two before the use-by date as it is (depending on time of year).
|
i wonder what farmers think of this.
With milk most people sniff it by default whether the date has been reached or not so i dont think it will make any difference |
Think most people treat best before and use by as the same tbh so can't see the point in this
People always say milk can be used past its use by date and far too much gets wasted but I don't think I've ever had a carton that wasn't pretty nasty within a day after it's use by |

The milk there was ALWAYS on the turn days before the use by, I guess because in a busy workplace it's in-and-out of the fridge a lot more than "normal". Off dairy can cause a really off stomach so I don't understand this at all. Loads of fresh produce yes it's perfectly safe to have it be best before instead of use by - bread, fruit and vegetables etc. it's just down to if you think it's palateable - but meat and dairy NO. It's just not worth it. Pasteurisation SHOULD kill all or most harmful bacteria but they can still slip through in very small numbers - number that multiply over time - so even when they do it should always be fine if it's in date. Milk that's gone off has had those numbers multiply to "a noticeable level". If that bacteria happens to be something like e-coli or salmonella you're going to be very, very ill. |
The Best Before Date
will be fine |
