The ideal refrigerator temperature is 37 per my manual.

I replaced it with a half gallon of Winn Dixie half & half with a Jan 23 expiration date and it went bad!!! This has never happened to me before. What the heck is going on? Is anyone else experiencing this?

The same thing happened to me with Publix milk dated December 23rd. Never happened to me before with Publix milk. Strange!

Many good responses to your Q. Hereโ€™s a few good links on the topic. The gist: store milk at 37 degrees, place in the back of fridge, transfer milk to glass containers or pitchers. We follow these suggestions. Makes a difference. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I am so ugly I am not allowed to even look at a pint of milk for fear it will curdle, no matter how long the expiry date!

I believe the long expiration dates are on products that are ultra-pasteurized. They will supposedly last a lot longer than regular pasteurized dairy products. We buy our half and half from Costco. It comes in 1/2 gallons and it usually takes us 6 weeks to use it up and we never had a problem with it going bad. Our refrigerator is set to 36 and it is stored in the door.

I used to have this problem when I had a Samsung refrigerator. I didnโ€™t know it but the temp wasnโ€™t maintaining the right temp and our milk kept going bad. We got a Whirlpool and never had the problem again.

add me to the list. several times i bought milk that went bad within days. i figured it was just the 1 Publix store near us, but after these posts it appears to be widespread

I've had milk go sour just a couple times in the last several years. I try to finish it on or around the 2 week expire date. But the last time, several months ago, I had milk go bad 2 days after the date. I always buy the 1% great value walmart brand. Never had this brand go bad on me within the dates. The publix and wd milk is too expensive so I stick with the cheaper more reliable brand. I don't ever need to deal with how cold the fridge is, it's that way when I move in and has needed no adjusting. If the milk is cold it's working as intended. If it's got a few little icicles it's too cold. Never had it be too warm.
