Re: Decanting milk....
I always buy a four pint bottle of milk. I use it until it smells and that’s maybe three days after it’s sell by date. I use the rest of the milk to make Soda bread or use it in cake mixture.I have never suffered any ill effects and like to think l am generally healthy except for the usual ‘in the family’ inherited things.
I have frozen two single pints of milk in my freezer. There was some left over (not gone off) milk that l put in a plastic container and froze it to use in cakes.
There’s a saying, ‘You have to eat a peck of dirt before you die’. I firmly believe in that.

I have seen some kept on shop shelves, and some on the cold shelves so wasn't sure of the correct way to store these as I have 2 or 3 myself incase I am ill and can't get out. So I phoned the manufacturers to ask.
They said storage of these depends on what is written on the outer carton. I have some Unsweetened Soya milk with an expiry date of November '20 and it doesn't need refridgeration till it's opened.
Yet I have some Oat Milk which says on the storage instructions it has to be refridgerated to store it.
Just to confuse us a little more, the lady told me some cartons have "Perfectly Chilled" written in bigger letters on the front of the box, and these one's must be kept refridgerated all the time.
They have to be used within 5 days of opening.
I find them quite pleasant, and certainly handy to keep incase you can't get out for any reason.

Re: Decanting milk....
I remember some years ago, a farmer was experimenting with freezing milk directly inside the cows. Of course, this meant that the cows themselves had to be frozen on a daily basis. At a set time each day, there was this woman in big glasses who would come round and defrost them. Now, what was her name?
Ah yes, that's it.... Thora Hird

Re: Decanting milk....
Ditto, Percy If your milk goes off after only 3 days there's something wrong with your fridge! They are only covering their backsides by saying consume within 3 days, it's fine!If you have the room, decant enough to last you a few days and freeze the rest in the original container (I think someone may have already suggested that)
You can buy long life (UHT) cows milk in cartons that only needs refridgerating once opened. It's fine, doesn't taste that much different.

Anyway, whilst leaning idly against the units waiting for the kettle to boil, I started reading the milk container and was gobsmacked it said use within 3 days.
I'd go well over the 3 days with my pint.
I'm quite sensitive to foodstuff. You get folk who can eat/drink something that's 'just on the turn' and it never affects them.
Me, well.... an entirely different story
