Tag: Milk off flavor

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), off-flavors, including metallic, are a common issue that can impact milk quality at various stages, from production to processing and storage. This unpleasant taste can be both confusing and concerning for consumers.

According to food scientists, a variety of biological, chemical, and physical changes can alter milk's flavor over time, explaining why your whole milk tastes different. The delicate balance of fats, proteins, and sugars in milk makes it particularly susceptible to these changes from farm to fridge.
