I was in the middle of making dinner when this happened. I’m grateful I poured it into a measuring cup first. Thankfully I don’t live too far from another source.
I remember milk staying good almost a week past its expiration date when I was a kid. Boy have the times changed.
Is your lactose free milk prepared/packaged differently from your regular milk? The two keep for just as long here.
Not really. All I know is when I buy Lactaid, or Fairlife, or one of the many other lactose-free brands in the US, their sell by date is usually around 30 days. “Normal” milk is usually sell by 7-10 days here.
The brands I see that produce regular milk also make lactose free milk here, so I’m guessing they’re all processed the same way within the brand but just with added lactase at some point. Different brands probably do things differently. It’s usually 2-3 weeks for both regular milk and lactose free.
Sell by isnt a standard or gov controlled. I used to keep milk till smelled bad or became chunky. I have noticed that lactose free milk does seem to last longer comparably however, sjnce i switched more recently due to body deciding to be full lactose intolerant
