Powdered milk in shipment from IDS Dubai???
In the latest shipment from Dubai we received a bit of a surprise. Two prongs: the “long-life” milk has about a month more to “live”, instead of the expected six months. Why would you even ship something with 6 weeks to go? Gimme a break…
What’s more – it is made out of cow milk “powder”, not out of actual milk. I understand a lot of folks like and use it, but we did not plan to buy or use powdered milk – there’s plenty of it here right now!
Luckily, the good folks from the AMCOM will take it off our hands, just in time before it goes. Good save, for sure!
In any case, I’ll certainly check the expiry date and origin of the milk before we buy next time…
Some of the UHT milk is made from ‘milk’ and some from powdered milk mixed with water. The taste is different according to Gregory who drinks milk like the good Dutch boy he is, by the mugful. I accidentally bought the wrong kind once. I now hoard the kind we both like.
Hi Janet, I absolutely agree – the taste is very different, plus we got the skimmed version, which pretty much means it’s more water than anything else… Hitting the stores today, and making sure we’re set for the holidays…
