How long can you keep fresh milk once it’s opened?

By Singapore Food Agency Published 13 Aug 2019 | Updated 27 Feb 2020

Dairy products are rich in nutrients which are nourishing. However, these nutrients also encourage the growth of bacteria. While some believe that milk will stay fresh as long as it is consumed before its ‘use by’ date, it is actually best to store fresh milk in the refrigerator at 4°C and consume it within three days after opening.

TIP: Buy only the required amount of dairy products that you can consume. For more food safety tips, visit bit.ly/sfafoodsafety.
