What are the disadvantages of expired milk?

The shelf life of fresh milk is relatively short, so if you buy too much milk at home, or if the milk is not consumed in time due to various reasons, the milk may expire. When milk is expired, do not drink it. Some people think that since the milk has just passed its expiration date, there shouldn’t be any problem, so they continue to drink it. This often leads to symptoms of physical discomfort.

Generally speaking, the "shelf life" refers to the period during which no obvious changes occur in any aspect of the food. Do not drink expired milk regardless of whether it has deteriorated or not. Milk is disinfected, sterilized and then packaged, and still contains a small amount of harmless or beneficial, relatively heat-resistant bacteria or bacterial spores. Once the shelf life is exceeded, the number of bacteria will exceed the physical and chemical indicators and hygiene indicators, causing diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms, and in severe cases, poisoning. If you drink expired milk, you may have a stomachache at the mildest, or diarrhea and vomiting at the worst.

Drinking expired pure milk will cause stomach upset, because the protein in it has been destroyed and is harmful to the human body. In severe cases, you can only go to the hospital for treatment.
