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.
Yeah I'm calling bullshit on the part that OP is not telling us what they scribbled out. This is just ragebaiting or OP trying to negate the responsibility of READING what's on the jug.
I mean, the fault is with the company until someone as gullible as you comes along and buys the expired jug anyways or however long you didn't tend to it for.
I do find it a bit telling that Lemmy would assume I'm some lying shill rather than Walmart milk being ass.
Edit: here's the unedited version. My local store isn't listed on the jug. I'm not worried about y'all tracking me down.
Take the tinfoil hat off, junior.
All that tells you, is what state with the code of 18. It doesn't tell you where you are specifically, only the plant of which the jug of milk was made in. In this case, it was made in Indiana (not sure if it was based on the number of states in order, which would make it wrong since Indiana isn't the 18th state, more like 19th but whatever).
I do happen to work retail and the plausibility of how the milk ended up the way it did is several. The plant didn't do a good job. Your housing conditions such as temperature and where you stored the milk matters overtime. Someone working dairy didn't care enough to efficiently stock the jug per company standards. Poor stationing of pallet somewhere from the store in bad conditions. Something.
Anything. I've never had a milk jug just come like that though, since I buy almond milk anymore.
Junior, lmao lick my balls.
Ew, you fucking pedophile. No wonder your profile picture is a pig, because you're probably a kiddie-fiddler. Fucking pedophile.
Damn both of y'all getting really hardcore in the comments over some milk.
Why did you nuke the year from the expiration date? Is it from 2024???
Walmart milk expires a few days before the date. Been that way for a while. Some agency should look into it. I mean under a less fascist regime
I didn't think about it until now but yeah you Americans should be more diligent about food standards and safety now that the standards and consequences for corporate negligence are so low. You wouldn't want to end up in hospital...
That's not Walmart, that's on the dairy farm and the FDA not doing proper inspections.
Could very much be walmart if they aren't unloading pallets in a reasonable amount of time and shit is just sitting around warm.
RFK Jr would drink it, you pussies.
Having worked the fresh department at Walmart, sometimes the milk would be delivered to the store spoiled. You can't usually tell without opening it, unless it's really bad you can smell it through the unopened container (or it isnt white anymore).
I don't know how much a problem this is with other grocers but nearly all the fresh products at Walmart are close to expiration by the time the store sells it to you. It's one of the ways they keep the prices lower than competitors.
I would bet the trucks and store refrigerators at Walmart are kept as warm as legally possible, to save money on electricity.
Best before Oct 31 what year?
Walmart uses prison labor for dairy.
Well what else are prisoners supposed to do? Jump for joy in their prison cells?
Ewwwwww sorry I can only drink milk from cows. Thankfully Walmart withdrew from my country
God, all you non-Americans really need to stop bragging. I’m way too jealous over here.
You know what I’m gonna brag even harder
Rude
That was happening to our house and then we discovered that our fridge wasn't running at food safe temperatures.
Might be worth putting a thermometer in.
Not saying Walmart milk doesn't suck but have you checked your refrigerator temps? You wanna be sure you keep it as cold as possible. So in the back and not the door.
some whole milk has cream that settles at the top. Are you sure it was actually bad?
Edit: looks like you're not the only one with issues with this brand. If you keep the container you can get a refund from the manufacturer or walmart.
Pretty much all milk in the US is homogenized, unless bought from a specialty brand/store. I can basically guarantee that Walmart is not selling non-homogeneous milk in the US.
I've had milk two weeks past that still smelled good. I poured it out anyway. The secret to milk is that it has to stay cold. If it warms even a bit the shelf life is cut way short.
Edit: Even if you buy the milk and it ice cold doesn't mean somewhere in the distribution process it hasn't been allowed warm up. I have bought milk that went bad within a day.
Tip: Lactose-free milk tastes the same, is easier on your digestive system, and doesn’t expire for over a month.
Lactose-free milk is much sweeter than regular milk and expires in the same amount of time unless you're buying the long life version.
It doesn't taste the same. The lactase breaks the less sweet lactose into glucose and galactose, which are about twice as sweet as lactose (all are less sweet than table sugar.)
Also lactose free milk is typically ultra pasteurized, which gives it the longer shelf life, but ultra pasteurization does impact taste. It gives it a "cooked" flavor.
It's also not entirely lactose free. Ask me how I know.
Cries in lactose intolerance
Thankfully I don't think we have Walmart store brand milk here in Canada. We also don't allow hormones either.
Butter and cheese are the only civilized ways to consume milk. Caesar would agree.
