Milk going off quickly

Yes! Just had to throw quite a large amount away- still within the use by date.

I've noticed this too,I've tried milk from different supermarkets,their own brands and different brands, and they don't keep as fresh as they used to, and like you I thought it was my fridge. some weeks I've to pour some down the sink.

I.ve just been reading that if milk is kept in the fridge door it goes off quicker,as the door opens and closes, but I have always kept the milk in the door and it was always fresh.

Mine has been going off too. I freeze sour milk and use it for scones as I can’t bear tipping it down the sink.

Our milk is direct from the farm twice a week (1 litre for 2 of us). It doesn't go off (I keep it in the door of the fridge) but I don't always use it all. I like this I can see the cows where my milk comes from - they don't mix it with any other milk.

On the other hand bread was going off but I had a metal bread bin so I changed to a wooden bin. Same with cake - metal cake tin changed to the plastic one - result nothing going off.

I've not had any problem with our milk yet, but I have had to start keeping my homemade bread in the fridge this summer, as that was going mouldy really quickly.

I ve just ten minutes ago thrown a whole two litre bottle away
I keep all my bread in the freezer and take out what I think I will need for the day it defreezers ( if that’s a word) very quickly

When the weather is very dry, there is more dust in air, which can get in milk. The dust has spores of bacteria that survive pasteurisation and end up spoiling the milk. I sometimes freeze milk in small amounts - at least I have some if the stuff in the fridge has gone off.

My milk usually comes from Aldi or Waitrose and I've had no trouble, but a couple of times my son has bought a bottle on his way home (both from the same dairy) and they've gone off two or three days before the use by date. I presume they've had problems with the chill chain.

Nope mine is from the Milkman... Lasts ages.
