I Just Drank Bad Milk, am I ok?!
I just got home and made a protein shake so the chocolate flavor would have masked the horrible taste!. Plus, I used a hand held blender so I dont know if it would have been clumpy!. It expired April 14th!. Today is the 19! I could kill my roommate for not tossing it out! I thought it was my milk that expires on the 28th!. It was like an hour ago!. Will I be ok!?!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
If the milk was spoiled, you'd probably have smelled it when you opened the carton and poured it to mix the protein shake!. also, if it was spoiled you probably would have still been able to taste it despite the chocolate flavoring of the protein shake!. It would have tasted like spoiled milk and chocolate, not just chocolate!.
Furthermore, the date on the carton is the sell by date!. That is the latest date that the store can legally sell it!. It will still be safe to drink for a couple of days afterwards!.
Finally, food poisoning from spoiled milk unlike botulism from contaminated canned foods or salmonella from chicken is not life threatening!. Granted, it isn't pleasant you would probably have an upset stomach and maybe vomiting and diarrhea but you won't die from it!. It may last a day or so, but is not worse than the 24 hour stomach flu!. also, food poisoning tends to kick in rather quickly after eating the spoiled food!. So if it's been a couple of hours and you don't feel bad then you probably don't have food poisoning from the milk!.
I'm sure you'll be fine!. I really think you would have noticed if the milk was spoiled, although I completely understand your being upset!. I personally like to stay on the safe side and not drink milk past its date just in case!. Let us know how you feel tomorrow and I'm sure if you still aren't feeling bad by then you aren't going to feel bad from it at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

your fine!. the date is the last day it can be sold!. the general rule of thought is that it is good for 7 days past that date,Www@FoodAQ@Com
You'll be alright!.!.!.!. youll just have stomach symptoms!.!.!.!.!.!. I've done it beforeWww@FoodAQ@Com
Probably!. The date is a "guideline", obviously, and if it had gone noticeably bad, you'd likely have tasted it, protein shake or no protein shake!.

well!.!. you should be fine!.!. but often times milk will last past the expiration date!.!.!. it just depends on how much you leave it out!.!.!.!. and how could your fridge is!.!. are you sure it was bad !? if so then you will still be fine!.!.!. maybe some minor stomach aches but thats allWww@FoodAQ@Com
Yea-you're fine!! You actually have about a week after the expiration date before it sours!. Even if it is sour-it's still OK-some recipes even call for sour milk!. Besides, that's what cheese and cottage cheese is!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Youll be fine!. Drink alot of water to flush it out!. I did almost the same thing a few weeks ago and Im pregnant!. I was so freaked out!. The nausea and upset stomach sucked but it didnt last too long!. Dont take anything like imodium thatll plug you up!.
