Aldi's Milk vs. Everyone Else's Milk

Edit: I have added a more concise review with photos, find it here: Aldi's Milk Review - Revisited (With Photos)


Aldi vs. The World in the Milk Arena?
What exactly makes different brands of milk different? Have you ever asked yourself the same question? For this review, I purchased a gallon of 2% Aldi milk (sold under their friendly farms label) for $2.49 and compared it to a gallon of 2% store branded milk from another local supermarket that cost $3.99. At the same supermarket, they also carried gallons of 2% milk from nationally-recognized dairy brand Kemps for $4.09. I was already thinking I was saving a few pennies by purchasing the store brand milk, but after a trip to Aldi I was concerned I was getting scammed at my local supermarket. If I could justify the cost savings of Aldi's milk - over a dollar per gallon - and I consumed a gallon per week, I could save about $50 on my grocery bill without doing anything differently except stopping at a second store.

So What's The Catch With Aldi's Milk?
As soon as I saw the Aldi's milk I felt there had to be some kind of catch - how else could a company (even a highly efficient, German company like Aldi) sell their milk for so much less than everywhere else? I wondered if this was some kind of "B" grade milk, the milk that was about to expire, or milk that had tons of hormones in it. And who exactly was this “Friendly Farms,” anyway?

Is Aldi Milk “B” Grade Milk Or Something?
I learned that there is such a thing as B grade milk, and its inferior status comes from the level of bacteria present in a sample of it, but it's usually used in cheese and other dairy products, not sold for drinking. I felt confident that there would have been an uproar on the world wide web if Aldi was selling B grade milk in their stores as regular, grade A milk. I didn’t find any complaints about Aldi milk online, except on one forum where a lady was convinced that her gallon of Aldi milk held less product than the competition. I examined my gallon of Aldi milk and it sure looked like it held the exact same amount of milk as the store brand gallon of milk. The milk jugs were the same size, but the circles on the sides that expand to prevent the gallon from exploding under pressure or impact were shaped a little differently. I decided that the woman’s complaint probably wasn’t valid and there was no way Aldi was using “B” grade milk under their label. Point to Aldi.

Is Aldi Milk About To Expire?
My gallon of Aldi milk had an expiration date over a week from the date I purchased it. I felt that Aldi wouldn’t risk the bad press and government fallout that would arise from consistently selling milk nearer its expiration date than their competition, but at that point I wasn’t exactly convinced there wasn’t some scheme running behind the scenes with Aldi milk where they would ask the plant for their oldest milk to negotiate a lower price or something. No points given here.

How About the Hormones in Aldi Milk?
The Aldi brand label, Friendly Farms, says that their milk is produced from cows not treated with rBGH or rBST. Aldi milk also carries the REAL seal, which means that the milk is certified as Made in the USA, made from cow’s milk, doesn’t contain any casein, caseinate, vegetable oil, or other substitutes. Not that I would expect any of these products to be present in Aldi’s milk, but it’s reassuring to see the seal. The ingredients listing and nutrition facts on the Aldi milk label are also exactly the same as the ingredients and nutrition facts on my gallon of store branded milk, which was also a point in Aldi’s favor.

What Really Put My Mind At Ease…
After tasting the milk and not being able to tell the difference, I knew I had to try a little harder to discover why Aldi could sell their milk so cheap. Finally I noticed that the plant code stamped on both my store brand milk and the gallon of Aldi’s milk had the same format, two digits, a dash, and three digits. This convinced me that the two milk brands were either from the same company, which used the same format between all its plants, or else there was some standard plant notation, that might be documented on the web. After a little more research, I discovered the mind-blowing web site whereismymilkfrom.com, which lets users enter in the code from their dairy products and uses it to look up the dairy plant of origin in a public database published periodically by the government, the Interstate Milk Shippers List. It then returns the result in a Google Maps pane with icons detailing what products are made at that plant.

Looking up the Aldi label milk using its code, I saw it came from a plant operated by Kemps! The same thing with my store brand milk, it also came from a Kemps plant, although it wasn’t the same exact one. This discovery leads me to conclude that most milk is exactly the same regardless of the container it arrives in, and consumers who choose Aldi milk can save money without worrying about getting a subpar product. Why would anyone pay more for milk that is made at the same plant as the cheap stuff? In my opinion, Aldi milk is just a good way to cut the grocery budget down to size, and Aldi wins this one!

    3. I'm an avid milk drinker and have been drinking milk from Aldi s for over a year now and can say this at least for the store I buy from, the milk spoils on or just before the sell by date and that is a consistent observation for me and the only complaint I have

      Delete
    4. Well, ya can't smell spoiled milk once in its first stage, so how do you know?> If it smells spoiled, then it was bad at least ONE week prior, was introduced to temperatures higher than ssafe for at least 2 hours, which cuts the milk shlef life by 4 days to label, and you would be sick by now.

      That is my only complaint.

    5. Thanks for your work on this and setting my mind at ease. I am recently working to recover serious health issues that left me bankrupt. So I went from name brands and fresh groceries to canned off brands. I found a lot of the products at Aldi's similar in taste and quality as most other brands. Though there are a small number that just aren't as good as the name brands, I am very content with shopping there and saving what I can.

    6. I too have noticed that the Adli's milk sold in the Dallas, Texas area almost always seems to get spoiled before the printed expiration date. I know it's not my fridge because I never have the problem with other brands, and the Aldi store is only a 3-minute drive from my house, so it's not spending alot of time in a hot car. Maybe because they don't use additives or preservatives? Maybe their refrigeration is not cold enough? I poured one down the sink this morning (6/16) that was dated to expire on 6/22! It smelled and tasted bad.

    7. Aldi's primary source is the Aurora Dairy -- which has gotten some negative press in the last year or two.

    8. I just wanted to add ,that I have some 1% milk fro Aldi which I bought sometime in April! It had a "sell-by" date of April 28, so when I discovered it in my fridge a few weeks ago, I was going to toss it but.....opened it, smelled it and tasted it - and was perfectly fine ! I have been using a little of it every day since, and as of today: June 5 , it is still good ! I wonder if it has been treated to keep fresh longer but it doesn't taste any different than what I normally get. Go figure !

      Delete
    9. First let me say no, I did not read everyones comment so excuse me if this is said already! Aldi overall, is generally cheaper in price than most markets and I believe I know the reason. Ever notice there are rarely ever more than two cashiers at a time? Cuts the employee costs down! Notice there arent any baggers? Again, costs are cut. Also, shopping bags aren’t free!! I believed these simple cut backs gives them the ability to cut a few pennies off their items and remain the competition!

    10. To those interested....Aldi and many other private label milk, is indeed bottled by large, usually well know dairy companies.
      Like many products, that people think are inferior, or B-grade, are actually made by well know manufacturers.
      I know this because I work for a large Dairy Company, and I can tell you we do many private lable products.

  3. Well it seems they are doing something to cut corners as I have had to return milk to Aldi 3 times over the last 2 months. The milk goes bad way before the expiration date. I have never repeatedly had this problem at any other store. Maybe cheap shipping and poor refrigeration.

    1. Florida, we have been using ALDI Milk for several years and never once had to return a gallon because it went bad. As a matter of fact, there have been times I have used a gallon after the expiration date as it still looked and smelled good. I don't know why you are getting so many bad gallons of milk, but it would make me think there is either something going on with your particular store or with your fridge. As far as name brand vs. generic, I can tell you for a fact that many generic foods are made at name brand plants. For some products they may leave, or use less, of a particular ingredient, to make the product a little different, but that is about it. When it comes to dairy, produce, and meat, they all have to meet the same set of standards by the FDA regardless of brand. ALDI keeps prices down because of how their stores are setup to reduce overhead costs. No cutting corners with product, just simple economics.

    3. I have the same problem. I've only recently started shopping at ALDI and I've had 3 gallons of milk go bad before the date. My refrigerator has no issues and I live 5 minutes from the store so there's no problem with the milk losing temperature during the ride home. so far it's the only product I've had a problem with.

  6. I've been buying Aldi milk for close to a year, and during that year on two different times the milk spoiled before the expiration date. One time I purchased skim milk and found the milk inside was 1% or 2% milk fat instead. I just don't trust Aldi milk anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  7. A great way to undercut the increasingly belabored dairy farmer. Wholesale milk buyers, such as Aldi are driving local dairies out of business. I love milk. A cold glass of milk is heaven.

    Milk is also loaded with fat. The only healthy choice is 0%. I can't stand wholesale 0%. It tastes like water. That was before I had Organic Valley 0%. More healthy than any of the milk substitutes, and better tasting than wholesale milk or milk subs. If you haven't had it, you don't know what you're missing.

  11. Well i have a question, i have a gallon of Aldi's whole milk it expired on March 31 2014 i don't drink a lot of milk and didn't think much of it so about 12 days in to April i needed milk i looked at milk date past date humm, no change in milk as far as it seperation like bad milk does, i smelled it and it was not bad yet. humm Anyway i got the milk out and set it on my porch rail with the lid just sitting on it so it would not expand until i could dump around a tree. Anyway did not get to it so long story short the milk is still on my porch rail with lid just sitting on it, mind you a month past the expiration date. NOW my ? question and concern is why does this milk still look like milk no clumps no separation no change it doesn't smell worse than other bad milks, so why is it not thick and separated and just down right nasty? This milk if you didn't now can be poured into a glass and beside smelling of it you would have no clue it was bad, well except i wouldn't recommend drinking it either. So whats in Aldi's milk?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Was it Skim Milk or one of the % milks? With my experience with skim milk, it doesn't have any fat in it to go bad or have the separation like milk with fat in it. I would drink skim milk a few days after expiration, just as long as it doesn't smell bad. This is with all kinds of brands too, usually Aldi's or store brand.

      In a couple of days, my milk had a blue layer on top...
      like paint.
      I wonder what hell are they putting inside to contaminate us and make us ill?
      I will never shop my milk again in Aldi's.
      It is too dangerous.

  15. when i found out all the milk was coming from the same company i was so disappointed. i was paying $2 more for milk that i thought was "Rhody Fresh", milk supposedly produced from only in rhode island farms. turns out it wasnt so rhody fresh at all and that milk as long as garelick and stop and shop brand all came from guildas farm in connecticut... anyways the reason why aldi can sell it for so cheap is because they arent a big name brand. those companies are big known companies so they make money on just their names. that why i love aldi. i like that im not supporting the big companies.

  22. Some companies are not refrigerating their trucks at the specified temps in order to cut costs because of gas prices. Aldi should check truck temps before accepting all milk etc. Caught GFS truck doing this once.

    1. You mean Deisel prices, which are VERY cheap right now, at their lowest in a decade, in fact. That isnt it. They just are negligent, not checking temps. The money they "lose" keeping temps is far less than the money they LOSE when people DIE from bad milk.

  23. When the Aldi near my house in LA opened up, Milk was pretty cheap and the milk did last me near the expiration date but now that its been open for a few months, the milk now expire a week early but I mean, it lasts for about 5 days before noticing the signs that its going to expire and honestly, if you drink a ton of milk in 5 days, its better to buy the Gallon Milk.

    If you dont drink it too often but want cereal or a glass of milk here and there, it would be better to buy the half gallon jugs than the big ones.

    Currently, Whole Milk at the Half gallon costs about $1.29 at my store and goes cheaper from there. Other stores are about $2.09 - $1.89. So your saving about 50 or more cents.

  26. hi All, DOES THIS MEAN THEY ADD NATURAL GROWTH HORMONE ???? just wanted to see if anyone contacted the customer service to ask about what does the label on the milk mean to say when it says " no artificial Growth Hormone" because on the bottom it says "FDA shows no difference in milk for ones treated with rBGH and those that are not" DOES THIS MEAN THEY ADD NATURAL GROWTH HORMONE ????

  27. I have been purchasing Aldis milk for about 10 years now and only two times it spoiled after about 4 days of opening it.Not really spoiled but you could tell it was going to turn.I returned it to the store and and got double my money back.So if the milk is spoiled before the expiration date just take it back and get double the money back.Why just throw it out?Come to find out it was my fridges fault.I keep my fridge just above freezing to keep things chill and have not had any problems since.Before shopping at Aldis it seems every store I went to had a problem with their milk at least once.Aldis sells grade A milk free of hormones.

  28. Aldi is unquestionably THE BEST store to buy your milk and other dairy products with confidence! ALL Friendly Farms products have a double your money back guarantee. This translates to either twice your money back on those products or, a replacement of the item with your money back or, even twice the replacement of those products!

  36. The milk at an Aldi in East Tampa Bay area is not ultra-pasteurized. This is one reason that it tends to sour more quickly; milks that are ultra-pasteurized contain fewer live bacteria. If you want longer shelf life from milk, make sure it is clearly labeled as ultra-pasteurized. Ultra-pasteurization requires extra processing, which adds cost and increases price so milk that is not ultra-pasteurized can be cheaper.

  38. I began buying milk @ Aldis' a little over a year ago when they opened a store in Cape Coral. I don't drink the milk, but use it to make cheese. It was fine UNTIL this October 2018. The milk I purchased in OCT2018 didn't set properly. The curd was weak, and disintegrated once I began the stirring process. At this time I also noticed a change in the packaging. The jug shape was different and the opening no longer contained a heat seal. At the time I tossed it up to something I did wrong. I often take a break during the early fall from cheesemaking, so it was quite upsetting to begin making cheese again in late November and end up having the SAME problem!

    So, I contacted several experts on cheesemaking and did some testing myself. At the same time a fellow cheesemaker who belongs to a artisan cheese group on FB who also lives in Florida began having the same issues.

    I downloaded the FDA list for dairy sources in the USA. Using the code stamped on the jug I found the milk for Aldi's is being sourced from McArthur Dairy LLC in Miami. I don't know WHO Aldi's got their milk from prior to this October BUT another very interesting fact is that BJ's AND Target in my area are now also buying their milk from this same source. Yeah, and BJ's charges literally $0.60 cents MORE for their whole milk!

    I decided to buy new rennet even though my rennet should not have been bad. This past Thursday 12/13/2018 the new rennet was delivered so I bought several gallons of Milk from Aldi's. On the 14th I prepared to make Brie. SAME PROBLEM!!! CURD DIDN'T SET!. So, I drove over to Walmart, checked their milk to make sure it didn't have the same source code (it didn't...sourced from Bordens' of FL in Winter Haven), bought a couple gallons, came home, and tried again. And guess what??!! It set up PERFECTLY!

    So, what makes a curd weak?? Poor Milk Quality
    Milk quality: Milk from sick cows, cows in late lactation and mastitis infected cows may cause a weak set to occur. The components of the milk including the casein, calcium and phosphorous can become imbalanced and can impair rennet action. The additional albumin and globulin caused by mastitis infection also retards coagulation.

    I have purchased MANY things from Aldi's the past year only to find out that it holds up to the old adage... "if it looks too good to be true, then it probably isn't". Last year I bought one of their seasonally priced bargain hams... couldn't eat it, it was putrid and mainly bone. Frozen 'wild caught salmon', had to dehydrate it and give to a friend for her cats to eat. Onions & potatoes more often rotten when cut open for at least half in the bag.

    AND to add insult to injury, when you try to CALL Aldi customer service, they have a shitty message stating that "...so we can continue to offer low prices, we don't staff a customer service line. Please contact us via email or on our Facebook or website page'.... WTF????

    So I understand that there a huge amount of loyal Aldi shoppers, BUT you may want to read the labels of their products more closely, and accept the fact that their 'cheaper' will most often mean 'questionable and non-healthy'. They may not pull this crap in other countries where this BS isn't allowed but; in the USA the FDA, etc. is a joke.

  40. Yet another gallon of Aldi milk is bad.Last gallon I will buy there period as it's happened twice before. Save your DA keystrokes on your excuses. I don't have the problem with Walmart or my preferred store HEB. Not saying the stores are bad, just don't buy your milk there. This gallon of skim is dated 11/18/19 and ruined my face and it stinks. Nasty. Aldi milk has some issues. Have no idea what it is, but they need to get a handle on it ASAP. This store is in Pflugerville Texas

  41. Something is changed in Vitamin D Whole Milk early August 2020: it killed my Kefir cultures - live & active probiotics. I added Whole Milk for 7-8 months to the kefir leftovers and in a day or two had a fresh Lifeway' KEFIR. This time I added milk to a half bottle of kefir, but all got spoiled. I am concerned...

  42. I haven't had the problem of Aldi's milk souring but I am reading about this because I am curious about the quality of their dairy and meat. I noticed their pork always looks nice but noticed they do us ascorbic acid as a preservative. I think that is the same thing as vitamin c.
