Expired Food: Milk
1 week past expiration date
Dairy milk can last up to one week past its expiration date. But if you aren’t sure, just give it a whiff to see if it’s gone sour. And while we’re on the topic, don’t be afraid of Shelf-stable pasteurized milk.
This non-refrigerated milk is not only better for the environment since it’s typically sold in cardboard or aluminum boxes, but it also lasts for up to a month past its expiration date, and six months it it’s unopened, at room temperature.
Once opened, you can keep the milk in the fridge for between one and two weeks before it officially becomes an expired food.

This was a great article. Learned a lot about keeping food. Mostly common sense but, still good to know for sure.
Wow! This article was EXCELLENT! I intend to type summary and send to others that I know would feel the same way. Thank you.
