Meanwhile my costco milk seems to want to last a week+ past the date making me suspiciously sniff and sip it every time after the date
Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again

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

That’s nuts. I just finished a gallon that I opened 10+ days ago, which expired 5 days ago. Tasted just fine, no problems.
This was Rockview, though. It’s one of the best tasting milks you can buy in SoCal.

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…

Yeah, it wasn’t even great before and now they have an administration that’ll bend the rules for any corporation willing to pay.

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. We have the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) which is supposed to look out for us on things like that. But they can’t be trusted, especially under Trump.
So, for all the bad things you’ve heard about Trump, not being an American — he does tend to have a certain pattern to who he places in charge of what organisation. For example the FCC (Federal Communications… Commission? Council?), he appointed a former Verizon (national mobile carrier) executive, someone who would regulate in favour of business. So if he installed someone at the FDA, they’d likely be a former Walmart executive — not very keen on enforcing Walmart’s lax expiration dates!
