Drinking expired milk is a bit like playing a game of culinary roulette! While the “best by” date is a handy guideline, milk can sometimes surprise you. It might smell a bit sour, like a surprise party gone wrong, or look clumpy, which is less appealing than a chunky milkshake. Did you know that milk bacteria actually help break down lactose, which means they’re kind of working overtime as it ages? Still, it’s always a good idea to give it a sniff and a look before diving in—trust your senses! If you’re not feeling adventurous, maybe stick to fresh milk or try some yogurt, which has a longer shelf life and is packed with probiotics.
