   Funny thing, I made a coffee earlier & I realised the milk went out of date on the 21st, I smelled it & it was fine (I can normally smell it going off a day or 2 before my wife, I have a sensitive nose) I tasted it & it tasted fine. How has this milk gone so far beyond its use by date?

     @hypolite @firefly_lightning I know, I was just surprised! Funny you mention microbiology, my best mate is a microbiologist, he works on vaccines now but used to do microbiological test on milk!

     @firefly_lightning @arevvik These dates are made to avoid liability for poisoning, so they are set as early as possible. Most products are safe for consumption past this date. Especially for non-dairy, these dates are set by a panel of consumers who go by taste, so it isn’t even related to any microbiology.

     @arevvik I've noticed my milk going past a time or two when I know as a kid it was always right on the dot or slightly before.... I wonder if they changed the standard they use or something
