This morning I used the last of a gallon of milk in my coffee. The “Best Before” date on it is September 16.
There was NOTHING wrong with the milk.
My GF tosses anything dairy out 3 days BEFORE the BB date. Even parmesan cheese!
Keep it COLD and it’ll last well beyond its BB date.
The same goes for just about any foodstuff. Meat being the exception. I feed week overdue meat to the dogs, but eat everything else up to that point.

Milk is iffy, in our experience. I'll get a whiff of sourness - almost always - by the second day following "best by"....and sometimes several days before.
I'm guessing it's pre-purchase transit/storage variations.

Just tell her that she isn’t being logical, that makes women snap right out of it.

I give meat a much longer expiration time than dairy. I love finding "specials" in the meat department. Cook it to 155 and I'll take my chances.
