Can I drink milk that has one month until expiration?

Milk that has one month until its expiration date can generally be consumed if it has not spoiled or developed an off taste. However, if the milk shows signs of spoilage or unusual odor, it usually should not be consumed. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the milk is still within its shelf life and has been stored under proper recommended conditions without signs of spoilage such as bloated packaging, unpleasant odor, or discoloration, it is safe to drink within the month before expiration. At this time, the nutritional value of the milk has not significantly decreased and will not adversely affect health.

If milk has not been stored properly—such as being exposed to high temperatures—it may spoil or develop an off taste prematurely and should not be consumed. Additionally, if the label indicates a "use-by" date, this means the milk may no longer be suitable for consumption after this date, as its safety cannot be guaranteed.

It is recommended to carefully read the expiration information on the milk packaging, store milk properly under refrigeration at a consistent temperature, and avoid temperature fluctuations. Once opened, milk should be consumed promptly, and you should check for any signs of spoilage before drinking.
