Filtered Milk - WTF?

Post by macliam » Thu Feb 03 2022 12:13am

So there I was in Aldi (just sheltering from the rain, honest :oops: )

I needed some milk, but it was sold out - however, they had a "filtered" version for much the same price, so I bought it.

Now I may be the only person in the UK who has bever bought filtered milk, so I didn't know what to expect. I never take much notice of "Use by/Sell by" dates, so my normal indication is when it curdles in my tea :sick:

This hasn't happened with the filtered milk, so, as it was getting low, I went to check the date. I lifted the bottle to read the label and..... jeez, what a stink!! The milk wasn't having any reaction in the tea, but that smell has to indicate something less than healthy :wtf:

Is that normal?

I always buy Aldi filtered milk now ( £1.19 for 2 litres against £1.15 for 4 pints of normal milk ) . The filtered milk normally has a use by day at least 20 days into the future whereas normal milk is 10 days . 1 carton of milk will last us 1 week and with normal milk it was going off after 5 days but no problems at all with the filtered milk.

I have been told filtered milk tastes better. But we never have a problem with milk going off even though we buy 8 pts of organic milk a week. Occasionally another pint has to be bought. We know the importance of calcium in our diets.
