Is the date on Trader Joe's milk the "sell-by" date or "best by" date? (the carton doesn't s!


Question: I have a carton of Trader Joe's milk and the date says 1/20/08. Does this mean it expires on this date, or is that just the sell-by date? The carton doesn't specify. Thanks!

definitely a best-by date.

usually it's the sell by date.... it's ok to use it but when you do open it use it rather quickly but it shouldnt hurt anything! I am pretty sure you can use stuff up to a week after the sell by date and it's fine!

its good for a week after that date

okay i dnt live in america and im guessing u do bcoz we dnt have trader joes in western australia but i noe that sell by is when the milk should be sold and its safe to be sold if its like 1 day after sell by they might sell it cheaper but chek the diference beetween sell by and best by if sell by is earlier then i must be right best by in australia is by wehn it should be consumed withoput any health risk so yer ! good luck and dont have it if its old or ur not shore!
