Is it still drinkable to boil milk that has expired for a month

It is not recommended to drink boiled milk that has expired for one month. After milk expires, it may breed bacteria or produce harmful substances, and boiling cannot completely eliminate the risk. After milk expires, there are still safety hazards even after boiling treatment. The protein and fat in milk will gradually decompose after expiration, which may produce harmful substances. Although boiling can kill some bacteria, it cannot remove the toxins produced by bacterial metabolism. These toxins may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and even lead to food poisoning. The nutritional value of expired milk will also significantly decrease, with reduced vitamin and mineral content. Some people may think that boiling at high temperatures can completely kill bacteria, but in reality, this is not the case. The heat-resistant toxins produced by certain bacteria remain stable at high temperatures and cannot be eliminated by boiling. The fat oxidation products in expired milk may have negative effects on health. Even if milk does not have a noticeable odor or discoloration, it does not mean it is safe to drink.

It is recommended to strictly follow the shelf life on milk packaging, and expired food should be discarded in a timely manner. Daily storage of milk should be placed in the refrigerated area of the refrigerator to avoid temperature fluctuations. When purchasing milk, pay attention to the production date and make reasonable purchases based on household consumption. If symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea occur after drinking milk, seek medical attention promptly. Develop the habit of regularly checking the shelf life of food to avoid accidentally consuming expired products.
