Any relationship to what came out of the cow is accidental

I picked up some regular whole milk at the grocery today, and it has an Aug. 25th sell by date on it!! How in the world is that possible?

Good question. Misprint?

I don't know, but I find it odd:

Most likely a misprint.
AUG25 should most likely be 2016.
And 08-06 is the date when the milk turns bad.
If that bottle was sold here in most european countries that milk will be bad in 8th of June.

I hate date formats:(

I agree the 08-06 adds to the confusion, but it's an American label, which has the format of month first.

Aug25 16 is pretty boldy printed, too.

Next time in the store, I'll have to ask somebody.

I find it amazing that you can print so much details of the product on the package understable to most people.
But giving a date format understable to most people when the product is going bad seems to be impossible.

Because there are so many variables once it leaves the manufacturers warehouse ...

I've seen milk that has sell dates several months out before. IIRC they called it "ultra-pasturized". Only have seen it in bottles with heat seals. Never cartons.

Kroger is now using the sell by date of its milk as a selling point.

Of course the only good milk is still warm from the udder, but that can't be sold!

"ultra-pasturized" milk.

"Of course the only good milk is still warm from the udder, but that can't be sold!" :)
I have stayed in a farm a couple years when I was a kid where they had milking cows.
We didn't have to drink milk from the udder!

But using your nose to find out if the milk is OK to drink is easy.
Pasturized milk can also be tested by pouring a small amount into a coffe cup. If the milk dont mix, throw away the milk.

Gordon,

Keep an eye on that brand and container type and size and see if all of them
have far-away expiration dates. Let us know what you find.

I like powdered milk, then I just need to add water, that's if I were to buy milk, I normally don't since I don't get enough money, so I can't buy milk, so I buy vitamin D pills every few months, to replace what is in milk.

Speaking about pasturized milk.
Here is an unpasteurized dish.

They do in my local store. As I said, Kroger is using the expire date as a selling point.

Not only milk is a source of D vitamin.
The sun is one.
Other includes fishes like salmon, herring, mackerel.
Egg and meat also have some D vitamins.
Here during the summer the sunlight of the skin is the most important source.
Vitamins stored in the body and which is formed by the sun can cover part of the need during the winter months.

I don't get out much, but then I live in a Desert, where the temps are either too hot, or too cold, or the weather is simply too windy, I don't get much income, so I have nowhere to go, besides the Post Office twice a week or the store 12 miles away in Barstow from time to time, I use about 1 US gallon of gasoline every time I go to Barstow, My car gets 25-30mpg.

Tell 'em the truth, up here some years
a person is lucky to get that much sun
in a year!

i thought that 15 minutes of sunshine, while wearing a short sleeved tea-shirt, was enough to get a daily dose of vit D.
i've read that a 150 lb goat produces ~13 grams of vit C per day.
Humans don't do that.
i guess cheap citrus is the answer.

Citrus gives Me acid indigestion, plus I normally go shopping only once a month for food, not every few days or once a week.

Not only fruits contain c-vitamin.
Potatoes, tomatoes and cabbage are some of the vegs.
Fish as well common in Yakutian cuisine, Eskimo cuisine, Komi cuisine and Yamal cuisine.
In Yakutia northern Siberia they have this dish Stroganina.

Vodka is optional.

Gary was right about that milk container being an "ultra-pasteurized" heat sealed product. I asked someone in the dairy section at the grocery this morning, and he said it's actually a shelf-stable product, meaning it doesn't even need to be refrigerated! The 08-06 on the label in my picture references the recommended best-by or sell-by date, and the Aug25 16 is basically the expiration date.

It tastes ok to me, but man is this weird.

Does it say 'refrigerate after opening'?
Or does it not require refrigeration even once you crack the seal?

Meow?

Weird indeed. Drinking 3 months old milk:(
Personally I avoid those kind of treated food.
Smell and taste always on milk and other dairy products before you throw them. If they taste good, it is okay to eat even though the expiration date has passed.

Here's a picture of the other side. Interestingly to me, the ingredients are just milk and D3. That heat seal process must be like canning vegetables and jams, but it's done with a plastic bottle.
