I was in the middle of making dinner when this happened. I'm grateful I poured it into a measuring cup first. Thankfully I don't live too far from another source.

I remember milk staying good almost a week past its expiration date when I was a kid. Boy have the times changed.

Tip: Lactose-free milk tastes the same, is easier on your digestive system, and doesn’t expire for over a month.

[–] Melonpoly@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lactose-free milk is much sweeter than regular milk and expires in the same amount of time unless you're buying the long life version.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Yep. That’s because they don’t actually remove the lactose. They add lactase which cleaves the lactose into simpler sugars, increasing the sweetness.

[–] QueenMidna@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

It's also not entirely lactose free. Ask me how I know.

Cries in lactose intolerance

[–] Teanut@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It doesn't taste the same. The lactase breaks the less sweet lactose into glucose and galactose, which are about twice as sweet as lactose (all are less sweet than table sugar.)

Also lactose free milk is typically ultra pasteurized, which gives it the longer shelf life, but ultra pasteurization does impact taste. It gives it a "cooked" flavor.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I’ve never noticed a change in taste, but I mostly buy 2% milk. Fairlife does taste creamier to me than other brands, likely due to its “ultra filtered” process however that works. I do wish that brand came in cartons instead of plastic bottles though.

The 2% is the hardest to get out

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Is your lactose free milk prepared/packaged differently from your regular milk? The two keep for just as long here.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (2 children)

Not really. All I know is when I buy Lactaid, or Fairlife, or one of the many other lactose-free brands in the US, their sell by date is usually around 30 days. “Normal” milk is usually sell by 7-10 days here.

[–] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Sell by isnt a standard or gov controlled. I used to keep milk till smelled bad or became chunky. I have noticed that lactose free milk does seem to last longer comparably however, sjnce i switched more recently due to body deciding to be full lactose intolerant

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

The brands I see that produce regular milk also make lactose free milk here, so I'm guessing they're all processed the same way within the brand but just with added lactase at some point. Different brands probably do things differently. It's usually 2-3 weeks for both regular milk and lactose free.
