Is it safe to drink milk after it is expired?

Answer 1

Many microorganisms can ferment milk. In most cases lactobacilli. There are two classes of lactobacilli. Those that form gas (CO2) and those that do not. Both produce acid (lactic acid) from sugar fermentation. They can do this in the absence of oxygen. One bacteria which can survive milk pasteurization is Bacillus cereus, a cause of food poisoning. This bacterium can cause vomiting and diarrhea due to toxins which it produces. B. cereus causes two types of food borne illness. One type is characterized by nausea and vomiting and abdominal cramps and has an incubation period of 1 to 6 hours. This is the short-incubation form of the disease. The second type is primarily abdominal cramps and diarrhea following an incubation period of 8 to 16 hours, the long-incubation form of the disease In either type, the illness usually lasts less than 24 hours after onset. In a few patients symptoms may last longer.

Answer:It's possible but unlikely unless the milk is very, very old. Cooking in most cases eliminates the risk entirely. Answeryes. milk is a good medium for bacteria and other micro organisms. expiry dates are really the amount of time after production where it is safe to consume the product.

Answer 3

Milk which has just passed it's 'use by date' may still be OK to use, you need to sniff it first, if it smells OK then taste a little, if it doesn't smell or taste sour you can drink it, you will soon know if the milk has gone off (sour) as it has a distinctive smell, and tastes awful.

Answer 4

If is does not smell or taste sour, it is okay.

Answer 5

The date on the package is usually a 'sell by' date. Stored properly, good quality milk should keep at least 5 days beyond that.
