When you purchase milk, take it
directly to your car and get home
as soon as possible. Cover milk in
your car to prevent light exposure.
Use a blanket, metal or plastic
picnic chest, or a cardboard box.
Return any unused milk to your
refrigerator immediately after
use. Light penetrates glass and
plastic containers more readily
than colored paper containers.
Milk readily absorbs odors and
flavors of fish, onions and many
other foods. Keep milk containers
covered or closed when stored in
your refrigerator. Keep milk cold
to preserve freshness and serve it

better, down to just above freezing.
Keep a thermometer in your
refrigerator. Check the tem
perature of milk and food. Also
check the accuracy of your ther

Rotate your milk and be sure to
use the oldest first. This is
necessary with any perishable
foods. Keep milk COLD,
COVERED and in the DARK. This
assures that milk will have good
keeping quality and taste good
when you drink it.
