Date on milk: expiration or sell-by date?

Posted by Rob Hulson in Uncategorized on January 6th, 2010

A topic of dinner tonight (positively thrilling conversation, here) was on the date stamped on milk cartons. Rosanna refuses to use milk when it within a couple of days of the date on the carton. She says it doesn’t smell bad but it doesn’t smell fresh.

I, on the other hand, don’t mind it if it’s not as fresh as it could be. To me, if it ain’t funky, it’s good to go.

But the main question: Is the date on milk cartons the “sell-by” date, or the expiration date?

What say you?
