I can’t say I’ve found this and I buy my milk in tesco. I’m usually using the 4 pint beyond its date to finish it. Is it possible you need to adjust the fridge temperature?

A supermarket will have a strict temperature control policy if the limits are exceeded during a power cut or refrigeration failure the whole lot gets dumped.
The efficiency of many fridges in the home are way below standard, not to mention hot weather on the way home, that’s by far the most likely cause of souring.

Has anyone else had problems with the 4pint/2.27litres of Tesco skimmed milk?

DH and I get through quite a lot of milk. Just opened a brand new container this morning to make our porridge, refrigerated since purchase and dated 17th September. Looked thick and after one heat up the porridge is clogged and unusable.

This will be the third time in the last couple of months I shall be trekking back with my milk and receipt.

Why? The milk is stored in the refrigerator straight after purchase, and is always the newest on the shop shelf. I buy it once a week and is used up before the ‘use by’ date.

Is it just me?
