Why You Shouldn’t Store Milk in the Refrigerator Door
Did you know the refrigerator door is the warmest part of your fridge? Every time it’s opened, warm air enters and causes temperature fluctuations—making it the worst place to store milk.
🚫 The Risks of Storing Milk in the Door:
- Faster Spoilage – Frequent temperature swings can cause milk to sour before the expiration date.
- Bacterial Growth – Inconsistent temperatures encourage harmful bacteria to grow, increasing the risk of foodborne illness.
- Food Waste – Spoiled milk leads to waste and extra trips to the store.
✅ Where to Store Milk for Maximum Freshness:
- Keep it on the back shelves, where the temperature stays most consistent.
- Avoid storing it in frequently opened areas.
- Set your refrigerator to 0–4°C (32–39°F) for ideal freshness and safety.
Keep your milk fresh longer—just by choosing the right spot in your fridge.
