ASK A NUTRITION PROFESSIONAL: IF YOU DRINK MILK 1 DAY AFTER ITS EXPIRATION DATE, WILL YOU STILL GO SICK?

This is unlikely to be a problem however, it is important to note that every situation is different. This is highly dependent on where you live and how well you have cared for the milk up and till that point. If you have left it out for hours on end then it may expire faster. This will also happen if you live in a very warm area like the Middle East. However, if you are good at putting your milk back in the fridge immediately and live in a cooler climate, then this is unlikely to be a problem.

If it is a few days past the expiration date, it is not much of a problem, but if it smells different or tastes sour or bitter, it has gone bad. Don't drink it because it causes diarrhea.

If storage temperature is kept consistently throughout the shelf life, and the packaging has been closed properly, drinking milk 1 day after its expiration date should impose no risk.
