Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs
Horsecook@sh.itjust.works 9 hours agoTwo weeks is an ordinary time for refrigerated pasteurized milk. If you’re used to a shorter timespan, either your milk is unpasteurized, inadequately refrigerated, or you’re at the end of an inefficient distribution chain.

Option number 4. The sanitary standards for packaging milk are very high in North America. This drastically reduces the risk of contamination after pasteurization, which allows our milk to last quite a while. It isn’t as sterile as UHT milk, but it tastes more natural.

Well, perhaps used to be. Now the oversight on those kinds of things is gone, and companies can do whatever pleases them. I wouldn’t put my trust in their good faith at all.

The proof is sort of in the lifespan of the milk.
I haven’t noticed it going bad sooner yet. It’s possible that other adulterants start showing up, but there are still lawyers that can sue companies if they find them fucking around.
That said we need to kick the fucker who are enabling this shit, out of the government ASAP.
