Milk stored in the fridge door is exposed to frequent temperature changes, causing it to spoil faster. The constant opening and closing speeds up bacteria growth.
The middle shelves of your fridge maintain a stable temperature, keeping milk fresher for longer. Always place it towards the back for the coldest conditions.
Placing milk too close to the freezer section can cause ice crystals to form. This changes its texture and ruins the taste once it thaws.
Fruits and vegetables release moisture and gases that can affect milk’s quality. Store dairy products separately to maintain freshness.
An open milk bottle can absorb strong fridge odors, altering its taste. Always seal it tightly to prevent contamination and unwanted flavors.
Ensure your fridge stays at 37-40°F (3-4°C). If it's too warm, milk spoils faster; if it’s too cold, it might freeze and lose its original consistency.
Even if stored correctly, milk has a limited shelf life. Check the date, use it in time, and always smell or taste it before pouring to avoid waste.
