Dairy (reading)

Read the memo about dairy products. Then, choose the correct answer.

Attention All Kitchen Staff:

I noticed that a number of dairy products spoiled this month. People are not storing these items properly. Here are some reminders about dealing with dairy products:

Please keep regular milk in the refrigerator, not the freezer. When milk freezes, the cream separates. It is nearly impossible to stir together again when the milk thaws. Only skim milk can freeze and thaw properly. Sealed cans of evaporated milk can be stored at room temperature. However, you must refrigerate opened cans.

Cultured products generally last longer than milk, but remember to check expiration dates. We served several meals last week with expired yogurt. I also found packets of expired butter and cream cheese on the tables in the dining room.

Even though we buy pasteurized products, bacteria can become a problem. Especially with cheeses, check the appearance and smell of any product before you use it.
