Milk going thick after a couple days?
I've been buying normal 1 liter jugs of milk at the supermarket and have been trying to figure out why they seem to go thick and clumpy after just a few days? They aren't even close to expiration dates and are stored in the fridge. I've tried different brands etc, but I just can't drink milk that fast. Does anybody know what causes this and how to prevent it? Can't find anything online about it.

It's obviously spoiled. Get a thermometer and check your fridge temperature. Other food might be going bad too.
The temperature should be between 35 and 38 degrees F (1.7 to 3.3 degrees C)
You could buy soy milk instead. It's less sensitive.

I know what you mean about the milk going thick before the expiration date. I am decades old, and I only started seeing this form of milk thickening within the past couple of years. In fact, we finally found a brand that didn t do that, and seemed to last well, and now it is doing that, too. It HAS to be something the milk processors have started doing. It s not even sour in the traditional sense, but it does seem off. I really do not think it s your fridge. Whatever it is, I wish they d cut it out. Must be making them good profits by sending us back to get some milk that doesn t fall in blobs into our bowls of cereal and our drinking glasses.

I would suggest to turn up your fridge.
It happens to me all the time:
I go to eat something one day and it's too hard so I turn down the fridge. Then the next day i go to eat something else and its melted.

it may be because your fridge is not cold enough. it should be somewhere between 0˚C and 2˚C. (i know it is colder than you think your fridge should be)
