How Quick Does Fresh Milk Get Stale?

[artificialstar]

Hi sissies, I hope you can help me with my little problem here. I like buying fresh milk in litre pack as I save more that way. But the thing is they get stale 1 week after opening. I've read that normally it takes 2 weeks for fresh milk to get stale. Is our fridge not cold enough, that why it's happening? How long does your fresh milk last without going stale? Would you recommend freezing half of the milk so that they don't get stale quickly?

This question may sound silly, but I really hope there are GTalkers here who will answer this question. Thanks!

Just found this online, it might help you out: 

While the pasteurization of milk kills most of the harmful bacteria, precautions always need to be made by the consumer to keep the milk from going bad. It's mostly obvious stuff: Don't leave the milk out on the counter for a long time; don't expose it to light that can make it can lose its vitamins; and close the carton when you're done to prevent the absorption of flavors from other foods in your refrigerator. Another way to keep milk as fresh as possible is to always keep it on a shelf—never in the inside of the door of your fridge, where the temperature fluctuates the most. Depending on who you ask, the fridge temperature should be 34-38 °F or 38-40 °F. Warmer temperatures give bacteria more of a chance to develop. You could theoretically freeze your milk for up to three months, but it'll turn lumpy and yellow and yucky looking (though it's still safe to drink).

sis usually 3-7 days1 shelf life ng gatas...
pero kung inumin mo sya from tetra using straw...
hours lang aabutan nya...
madaling magkabacteria kasi gatas kaya madalin mapanis

I store our fresh milk sa top most at medyo sulok na shelf ng ref and it lasts for more than a week. Siguro kasi temp controlled din ang ref namin kaya mas nagtatagal sya. at mas nagtatagal kung nasa original packaging. Nagtry kasi ako minsan isalin sa lock and lock mas madali syang napanis e.
