Milk is one of the most wholesome drinks we enjoy every day – but it’s also highly perishable. Improper storage can quickly lead to spoilage, affecting both taste and nutrition. To help you enjoy milk at its best, here are some simple yet effective milk storage tips:
1. Keep It Cool
Always store milk in the refrigerator at 4°C or below. Avoid placing it in the fridge door, since frequent opening causes temperature fluctuations. The middle shelf is the best spot.
2. Seal It Tight
Once opened, keep the milk container tightly closed. If you transfer it, use a clean, airtight container. This prevents bacteria and odors from entering.
3. Handle with Care
Never drink directly from the carton or bottle. Instead, pour into a clean glass to prevent contamination. Also, wash your hands before handling milk containers.
