Will light bulb spoil milk?

Pasteurized fluid milk will spoil eventually anyway. The warmer the storage temperature, the more quickly the milk will spoil. Light bulbs emit heat. If the milk is placed near a lit light bulb, the surrounding area will warm and so will the milk - setting it up to spoil more quickly. So don't store your milk near the refrigerator light bulb. The flavor of milk is also affected by light. Some people can pick up on those flavor changes.
