How safe is consumption of milk stored in a Thermos flask?
we normally use milk kept in thermos Flask, but is it safe particularly if the milk is stored for a pretty long time,. Is there any chemical reaction in this condition since milk being a perishable item. Similarly milk and milk products in tetra packs? Is there any health hazard to such use.
Answers:
Define pretty long period of time. And what is the ambient temperature?
If the flask is full to the brim, the milk will survive for quite some time in a flask. But if there is air trapped in the milk is likely to curdle after eight to ten hours. Then also with a little natural curd added it is a safe and good food. But if it has been in for twentyfour hours or more, avoid it as food.
Tetra pack milk has a designed shelf life of several weeks. As long as they are within the pack the milk will not spoil. Once you open it, it should be used up quickly.
