In other words, it's safe to freeze milk. Yes, you most definitely can, and here's why you might. Let's say there was a buy-one-get-one-free sale on a gallon of milk at the grocery store, and you know you're not going to be able to finish that second gallon by the sell-by date. You can freeze that other gallon of milk, but to avoid an explosion in the freezer, you'll want to remove one cup of milk from the container before freezing it.
Milk expands when it freezes. To thaw the milk, just set the gallon back into the fridge—do not leave it out on the counter—and don't forget to give it a good shake before each use!
The back part of the bottom shelf likely retains the coldest temperature throughout the entire fridge because it's away from the refrigerator lights and farthest from the door.
Milk that's stored in the door of the fridge gets the most exposure to warmer air, especially when you're physically in the fridge looking for something. Think about it: when you're digging through the fridge in search of that other half of the red onion you sliced two days ago, that milk is fully removed from the cold air, dangling in room temperature. At least, until you eventually recover the small half-vegetable hidden in the depths of the fridge behind the stacks of containers filled with leftovers , yogurt cups, and maybe even a container of orange juice?
It might not seem like much, but having your milk exposed to room temperature for even a short amount of time can have an affect. We get very few complaints about the quality of our milk but where we do — we always act promptly and decisively to ensure we secure your trust for future purchases. As a local family business, the freshness of our milk is the most important thing to us.

The type of cream is determined by its fat content. Do not leave cream at room temperature, and do not mix warm cream with cream that has been kept refrigerated. Nondairy dessert toppings are made from vegetable oils but may also contain some milk products. The frozen toppings may be stored for up to one year in the freezer, or thawed and kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Do not freeze dessert toppings in aerosol cans. Store the cans in the refrigerator for a maximum of two to three months. It is worked to distribute the salt and remove extra water. To be sold in stores, butter must contain at least 80 percent milk fat. Water and milk solids make up the other 20 percent.
Salt and coloring may be added if desired. Some unsalted butter is sold as sweet butter, but most people prefer the salted product. The USDA grade label on the butter carton or wrapper means the butter has been tested for quality by a government grader and has been produced under sanitary conditions. The highest possible grade is AA. Grade AA butter is delicate and sweet-flavored with a creamy texture and good spreadability.
Most butter sold is grade AA or A. Because of its high fat content, butter contains many calories and therefore should be used sparingly in the diet. Storage: Storing butter properly, lengthens the shelf life so it can be used over a longer period of time.
To prevent a type of spoilage called rancidity, protect butter from heat, light and air by storing it covered in the refrigerator. Rancid butter has an unpleasant taste and smell. Butter absorbs odors from other foods rapidly. To prevent flavor changes, keep butter wrapped in moisture- and vapor-proof material or in tightly covered containers. For refrigerator storage, leave butter in its original wrapper.
Opened portions of butter should be refrigerated in a covered dish. Higher temperatures cause off-flavors and unpleasant odors to develop. Butter should not be stored in the butter keeper set at warmer temperatures on the refrigerator door longer than two days. For ease in spreading, remove butter from the refrigerator 10 to 15 minutes before using it. For holding longer than two weeks, butter should be frozen. To store butter in the freezer, wrap it in moisture- and vapor-proof freezer packaging material to keep the butter from absorbing odors from other foods and to prevent freezer burn.
Butter in its original carton can be overwrapped. Butter in one-pound blocks can be cut into smaller portions, repackaged and frozen for future use. Thaw butter in the refrigerator. Basic Facts: The natural sugar in milk is converted to lactic acid by means of a bacterial culture producing the creamy, pleasantly tart yogurt.
Yogurt is pasteurized to destroy disease-causing microorganisms. Fat and calorie content will differ depending on whether whole, low-fat or fat-free milk is used and whether fruit or sweeteners are added. The label will give the specific information for each yogurt. If it is kept longer, it will develop a stronger taste.
Freezing yogurt is not recommended because of the variable results in texture. Storage: When purchasing ice cream and other frozen desserts at the store, make sure they are frozen solid and that the container is not sticky or frosted which indicates it has partially thawed at some point. Request that the ice cream be placed in an insulated bag or be double bagged to reduce melting on the way home. However, if it will be stored longer than one month, it is best to overwrap the original container with freezer paper or wrap.
Once the container has been opened, place plastic wrap over the surface of the ice cream to minimize the development of large ice crystals and the loss of its creamy texture. Use ice cream within seven to 10 days for best quality. Each time the ice cream is removed from the freezer, and the surface begins to thaw, the ice cream loses quality. If ice cream or other frozen dairy products thaw completely, they should be discarded because of the danger of bacterial growth.
