Default Yukky taste of milk

Has anyone noticed that milk from Publix has an unpleasant taste recently? I have checked the dates on the cartons so they are nowhere near expired.
Maybe it's the time of year that cows have different feed.
Haven't had a decent cuppa for a few weeks.

Maybe a different supplier that uses different feed.

Is it just the Publix brand that tastes off to you, or all of them? Maybe a refrigeration problem? I haven't noticed any bad taste with their store brand; I typically buy whole milk and dilute it half and half with water.

John W, that must be loss leader pricing for the Neighborhood Walmart! Their superstore has it for $2.57.

We used to shop at Publix, but gave up when we found the quality was no better than other sources and half the price.
Walmarts milk tastes fine to us.

Have you changed medications recently? Sometimes they can affect how you taste things.

I agree Publix prices are higher, we only shop there when we are too lazy to go to Wally World which is fair drive for us just go to store when we pass three on the way. We like Publix meat counter and it’s very close and convenient. I was floored when Publix ‘s pound bacon was 9 bucks. At my age I don’t need to be eating bacon anyway

I'm so glad this was brought up. The first Milk I can ever remember throwing out was 2% Milk from The Walmart Neighborhood Store near Colony. At $1.99 I couldn't pass it up. We love that store and it is worth the ride for us.

We are trying to learn to love the new Publix behind Dunkin Donuts on 441. It is beautiful and had all the benefits that all Publix offer the only thing is it's SOOOO BIG! They had the milk for $1.99 and I took a pass, let the wife choose because she is so much brighter than I and whatever it was it was we're too normal.

Maybe they have $1.99 COWS?
