Does 'stuff' actually grow in it?? I would be interested to know this
too. I thought the anti-infective properties stop bugs growing for a
very long time. My understanding (and I may be way off here) is that
the problem of old milk is more likely to be oxidation and the sour
smell/taste that that causes. What do others think/know about this?
