Why are people surprised by this? Do you guys not have refrigerators in your grocery stores?

Raw milk gets bad after about 3-4 days, even with constant cooling. This period is way to short to sell it at grocerie stores in any big scale.

Are you american?

Bo and it is in no way relevant. Since it seems like you think that what I say is wrong, I know this, because I came from a farm.

[–] redisdead -4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It is relevant. The quality of the food chain and regulations where you live play a huge role in that particular society's feel about raw products.

You'd be surprised to find that in some countries people eat raw ground pork as a normal thing and nobody dies.

I'd like to know which farm you worked in because the fact you think so poorly about the food that comes out of it means I absolutely need to avoid anything you guys make.

OK, you got a point there.

For the other part, you can trust me, that in a refrigerator milk will get bad after 3-4 days. If you cool it at about 2-3°C it is good for longer time(obviously), but I can't tell how long exactly, because the milk never gets that old. As for Quality its quite interesting, that you make assumptions about it without knowing anything. I can assure you, that the milk has good quality. It gets tested every 2 days in terms of fat, germs, protein, and SCC and all of those parameters are always good.

You see, in America, the milk cattle live in terrible conditions. Mastitis is common. In the US, you really have to pasteurize the milk to kill all the bacteria and viruses that end up in the milk because of the conditions they live in.

I can't say anything about the general health and living conditions of the US cattle, but taking your word for granted its devinetively advised. If the cows are kept under good conditions and a good hygiene is practised usually germs in raw milk aren't that much of a problem.

We do, but we also have pasteurization.
