Question: Can I leave a carton of milk in my car overnight!?
The temperature is supposed to be between 40 and 50 degrees all night and early morning!. Is this cold enough to keep a carton of milk fresh!?

I would not count on that milk at all, better safe than sorryWww@FoodAQ@Com

You're fine as long as the milk is still fresh and hasn't expired!. I have left milk out all night in the dead of summer when it's 80 out and it was OK!. Just pop it back in the fridge!. Just don't leave it in there in the summer in the sun with windows closed all day!. You might have cheese instead of milk!.
It will NOT spoil overnight in a car at 40-50!. It will after a few days, but one night you're fine!. Just be sure you get it refrigerated ASAP!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, you can do it!. I would suggest bringing it in!.
Why are you asking if it would be alright to do!? It seems silly to me that you would ask this question instead of just bringing it inside and being sure that it would be okay!.
Since milk freezes at about 31 F, it won't freeze, but it doesn't really matter because milk doesn't go bad if it freezes!. In fact some people buy it in bulk and then freeze it because it is cheaper!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. Milk must be stored in a 40 or less!. is your fridge broke!?
I always buy milk by the gallons and freeze it take it out two days before i run out of one gallon and let it sit in the fridge to un-thaw!. I keep my milk very cold!. Can't stand it warm!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It might be but that is a risky temp to keep something like milk in all night!. I probably would not!. If it was only a couple hours it would be okay, but I wouldn't keep it in your car all night!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Probably not!. In my high school, the milk cartons are kept in refrigerated boxes that are at least 32 degrees or below, because sometimes the milk inside is frozen!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hi honey, I wouldn't trust it!. Better to be safe than sorry!. Bacteria can grow too quickly, and you don't want to be sick!.

Best of luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yep!. Don't leave it too long in the morning, however!. Rising temperatures could turn the car into an oven!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No you cannot EVEN IF TEMPERATURE IS COLD!!!!

It's called spoiling!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

noooo the "danger zone" is 40-140 degrees!. in other words, it must be stored at less than 40 degrees!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think it should be 36 or lower but just check the milk and see if it is spoiled!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

don't risk wasting perfectly good milk!. if you were to keep it outside maybe but in your car!.!.!.!.no!. just put it in the fridge and be safeWww@FoodAQ@Com

Put it in your refrigerator!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I really don't know but I wouldn't reccomend it, keep it in a fridge were you know its safeWww@FoodAQ@Com

I think anything over 40 degrees would be pushing it!. Put it in the fridge if you can!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, that isn't really cold enough for milk!. It'd be safer to put it in your fridge!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
