Changing consumer habits could spell the end of bagged milk - Lemmy.ca
“Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30
years,” says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at
Dalhousie University. “Actually, it’s gone down by more than 20 per cent since
2015.” While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it’s actually
not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it’s more cost
efficient and some even believe it tastes better.
I’ve always wondered about the bagged milk… Don’t they get broken a lot? I’m genuinely curious
The plastic feels a bit like a heavy duty ziplock bag, or piping bag material, made as a tube (so strong shape, structurally) then flat sealed on both ends. Quite thick so not that easy to puncture by accident. Once in a while there’s one that leaks but they get removed at the grocery store by stockers, mostly. It’s easy to spot, it just looks flat and at worst (if the hole is on the bottom), there’s a liter and some of milk all over in their fridge.
How do you store it once it is opened? How do you pour it?
Stores sell sturdy plastic jugs that the milk bags fit into snugly, so it basically pours like a pitcher. You just snip a small corner off the top of the bag once it’s inserted into The jug. The jug lasts forever, though it does get funky over time with any dribbles of milk that make it between the bag and jug.
