Can I cook some tuna helper using expired milk that's been expired for 2 weeks? Will it get rid of the bacteria?

As long as it smells OK and its viscosity hasn't increased substantially above the nominal 2.105 centipoise at 21°C you should be OK.

Well, if the milk is too old, you'll have tuna helper with a slightly cheesy flavor.

regardless of how tight your budget is unless you are at a negative balance you can afford $1.98 for milk (thats what it is here)

Either that or be a cheap lazy ass and get sick.

lol... Yes, it will, but if the milk is curdled it still won't be.. right.

You know, we've evolved these things called noses..

Actually, hmm. I'd guess we're losing our ability to smell, because it seems like just about every other creature can smell better than we can.

It's because of people like you, damnit! Start using your sniffers!

:p

Smell it. Use if it doesn't stink. My bet is it would stink, and I wouldn't use it even if it doesn't 'cause it's now officially gross.

Is it ultra-pastuerized or normal milk? I'd be more likely to use the ultra, but I'd have to be desperate.

Someone needs to get outside away from the computer more:

4-13-2007 US milk prices reach record highs in 2007

International demand for US dairy ingredients and rising corn and soybean prices has caused milk prices to reach record highs, according to the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA).

"Strong international demand and short global supply of nonfat dry milk, dry whey and lactose have steadily driven prices up in the past six months," said IDFA president and CEO, Connie Tipton. "The price of nonfat dry milk has gone up about 30%, and the price of dry whey is at a record high."

The IDFA said that a growing demand for corn to produce ethanol is causing feed costs to escalate. Feed is the largest operational cost for dairy farmers.


4-10-2007 Milk: a new commodity

You've seen the price of gasoline rise steadily... How about milk?

People in the dairy industry are warning that we can expect to see it go up through the summer.

They say it's not only milk; prices for things like ice cream and cottage cheese will also be higher.

Right now, prices at the supermarkets range from $3.79 to $4.59 a gallon.

IIRC the issue with cooking with foods that contain bacteria is not that they will infect you, but that you will be ingesting various toxins in and produced by the bacteria.

Absolutely! I find it tastes better a few weeks after expiration.
