Wasting Milk in Montana Due to Strict Sell-By Dates
Montana has stricter sell-by date regulations for milk compared to other states, requiring it to be thrown away just 12 days after pasteurization. This leads to a significant amount of milk being wasted. The law was implemented in the 1980s and hasn't been updated since then. As a result, the price of milk in Montana is about $2 per gallon higher than surrounding states. The strict date labeling laws in Montana and inconsistency across states contribute to food waste and do not necessarily ensure food safety.
