- Always freeze milk before its expiration date. Freezing doesn’t “fix” milk that’s already gone bad.
- Label everything. Write the freezing date on each container or bag with a marker.
- Use freezer-safe, airtight containers. If transferring from the jug, make sure your containers are designed for freezing and have enough room for expansion.
- Keep frozen milk in the back of the freezer. This ensures a steady, cold temperature for better quality.
