Bitter taste - milk expires before date

I’ve been buying Lucerne 2% milk from my local Albertsons store for awhile. But the past few times I’ve bought this brand milk, it has expired before the expiration date with a sour taste. I’ve had to throw out half the jug. Today with half the gallon left, it had a bitter taste to it. I had to throw it out again. I feel like I’m wasting money on this poor quality of milk.

Chemical Taste

The milk had a bad chemical tastes only two days after the expiration date. It was not the usual/normal taste when milk starts to go bad. I will never buy this milk again. I do not understand why it would have a chemical taste at all.

Wasted 5 hours in emergency yesterday after drinking lucerne

Wasted 5 hours in emergency room yesterday after drinking lucerne individual size plastic bottle chocolate milk. The milk had a plastic acetone taste to it and I got a weird shiny red burn on my finger and my balls shrank like a prune. I went to the emergency room scared. While at the hospital my finger where the burn was started to feel Charlie horsey. Drank 3 bottles of water to get the milk out of my system. Hospital couldnt do anything. Wasted my time. Left with my balls back to normal size at least.

First of all the bottles aren't tamper resistant. It has a foil cover that you cant tell whether its originally sealed or not. Whether it's for Safeway to avoid liability, or they have a bottling problem, someone tampered with it, or the bottle had lose plastic dust in it or, some heat storage issue pre-bottling its unacceptable. Put a tamper restiant twist top on it. Protect your consumers. Anyways I won't buy that again.

About the person who told black mold in your milk. That's really dangerous stuff. Read up about it can cause autoimmune disease of your digestive system and not curable.

In the past from the same safeway in financial district I bought sour tasting bolt carrot juice that the date was fine. Never buying that again there.

Also used to buy odwalla strawberry banana drinks for my health until I read that they had problems with buying old fruit and adding sugar when they say they dont.

Hope everybody got better from their food source problems.

Just bought one that had black substance in the bottom.

Will never buy again. Always turns before exp. date but this last batch had a black substance in the bottom that looks like mold and we got sick. Our neighborhood board is reporting others had this issue as well, all bought from the same store around the same time.

Lucerne 1% milk in 4 litre jug

Lucerne milk is normally good, however in the last couple of months I've been having issues with the milk spoiling before the expiry date. The milk also doesn't have a consistent taste from jug to jug. Last week I had to throw out milk again because it has a weird chemical taste to it. I phoned the company and they will be doing a quality control investigation. Other than those issues the milk is great!

Sours before the expiration date.

We buy this at our local shaw's store but almost every bottle turns before it's date. I just dumped over half of a gallon this morning that was dated 7/22. I enjoy the taste when its good, and for a long time this didn't happen so I thought it was a fluke but this has been happening now for about 4 months on a much too regular basis. I will still buy the creamer, and the almond milk is good but I like regular milk in most things and want to be able to rely on the dates. I have my refridgerator at 34 degrees so that is not the problem.

for store bought milk this is one of the best I have tried. It has a smooth creamy taste and the price is usually more affordable that others. They also make a great tasting chocolate milk

this is my go to for milk in local stores.... the egg nog is pretty good too. my kids love it and i find it better than the other brands

Lucerne milk is always on sale and at a very good price. It is made with 100% milk and has no added chemicals.

This milk is so creamy, and of high quality. I drink skim milk but it tastes more like 1% or 2% milk.
