Why does milk last longer than it used to?

Today, I get a carton of milk that lasts 2 fucking weeks or more. It's from the same brand I used to get as a kid (Pic NOT related)

Any insiders tell me what changed? Pasteurization get better? Better storage from diary farm to grocery store?

It's the pollution
A disturbing amount of cows are grown on fields next to roads which causes them to breath things like heavy metals and dangerous chemicals and those in turn kill a lot of the natural bacterial activity that's normally present in the milk so it lasts longer
The reason milk is so heavily processed these days is not to improve its shelf life but because otherwise it'd taste like lead and metal

That's what I thought of when I was trying to figure out why certain brands of milk tasted so much better even if they were cheaper, and I think it's mainly due to the packaging. Also you're usually told to keep spices away from heat and light to prolong their shelf life.

You have it exactly backwards
Its called "maintaining the cold chain"
If your milk is allowed to warm just a few degrees anywhere in the supply chain, it shaves a week off its usable lifespan.
In the last 20 years, improvements in logistics have changed so many things in huge ways and no one has noticed

[Anonymous No.15067084]

>>15064781
There's also a chance that milk was a slow seller at the target you used to go to.
I've worked at costco for 20 years and milk expiration dates haven't changed at all from my experience. Our milk is extremely fresh and has a very high turnover rate, if you buy milk from my store then the milk you just bought was still inside of a cow two days prior.
If I go to the target or grocery outlet the block down from my work, their milk situation is exactly as you described your experience from the 90's where 3-4 days on average, you never see anything more than 5-6 days out.
I would also like to point out that "Market Pantry" is a store brand and does not actually process any milk. Target just pays the local milk industry to put Market Pantry labels on the local brand's bottle. In my state, "Market Pantry" brand milk is produced and delivered by Darigold. It even comes on the same truck in the same milk crates as the Darigold brand milk that they stock right beside the store brand. All stores do this, even Costco. Darigold also delivers the Kirkland Signature brand milk at my work.
Refrigeration is also a lot more reliable.

Part of it is modern logistics and the size of the supply chain, it gets from the cow to your fridge faster.

Back in boomer times, it was necessary to have the milk man deliver every day because freshness could only be ensured in smaller, more local batches

Well what they tell me is that for every degree above 37 f milk gets it takes a day off the shelf life. There was probably not as good delivery, logistics and quality control of maintaining a cold chain so the dates were made shorter. I get 4 deliveries a week and the milk should all be dated at least two weeks out when I receive it (actually more like 3 for the high volume ones) and I'm required to mark down milk that is 8 days out and pull it from the shelf and 'donate' it at 7 days.

This is the most likely explain I've seen.
Display coolers used to suck much more than now; it's hard to keep temp control with an open front cooler.
Glass doors between the store and the cooler are increasingly common for energy efficiency/carbon feelgoodery, and a byproduct is that the stuff inside stays cold better.

Why would anyone drink milk? Its completely unnatural to drink another animals milk, intended for a calf, not to mention being extremely unhealthy (its full of fat, cholesterol, pus and bacteria). Drinking milk turns you into a fat fuck, because its made to grow a mammal. But you're already grown, so you just get fat off it.

Would you go up to a cow, and suckle on the teet and drink the milk? I wouldn't, because that's fucking gross and weird. Maybe if I was starving and on the brink of death. But when its done by a machine and put in plastic bottles m, you drink it?

For me, I stick to eating fish, shellfish, and very occasionally eat red meat (never pork or chicken- incredibly unhealthy). Anythinf more than that is asking for health problems.

Because you live in America or some other developed country and drink UHT milk or one that is pasturized for a lot of time.

I live in Eastern Europe...if i buy milk from the granny in the nearby bazzar after heating it in a special doble bottom pot(its a hollow wall pot that you put water in there creating something like a water bath) i kill potential bacteria and it last for a week.

Botteled store milk also last for a week after being opened but they skim it first then boil and bottle

Really......
Filtering of the milk starts at the point of source, with filters in the dairy shed, before it goes to the silo.
Once the tanker collects it, it is filtered again at the factory, before it is pasteurised, snap chilled and then bottled.
