Don’t store milk on the fridge door!Keep it on the middle or back shelf where it stays cold and stable.

1. Keep Milk in the Coldest Part of Your Fridge

Boiling helps kill bacteria that cause spoilage. Let it cool and store in a clean, airtight container.

2. Boil Milk Immediately After Buying

Dirty spoons or hands introduce germs into the milk. Pour directly or use a clean utensil every time.

3. Always Use a Clean Spoon or Pour Directly

If you won’t use milk in 2-3 days, freeze it in small portions. Thaw only the amount you need to avoid waste.

4. Freeze Milk for Later Use

Never leave milk out in the open, even for a short while. In hot weather, milk can spoil in just 30 minutes.

5. Avoid Leaving Milk Outside
