Wal-Mart Milk; What is it really?

[EarlJibbs]

I have a friend that makes his own cheese. He and those in this cheese making community tell me that you cannot make cheese using Wal-Mart milk, but you can with other store purchased milk. Although he hasn't researched why (and frankly neither have I), I find this information alarming.

What foods have you heard similar things about?

I've also heard you can't make cheese with the wal-mart version of oreo cookies. So disappointing.

Nice MOE! :D:D You seriously just made my day. I like where you are going, but let me clarify.

Does anyone have any weird [DELETED: facts] Rumors about foods that we commonly purchase in stores?

If we're limiting this thread to facts it won't get nearly as far as if we allow rumor.

Okay. I have deleted the word facts and replaced it with rumors. Let them fly!

You cant make chickens with Walmart eggs. Oh and the last ones I bought were TWO MONTHs old. Finally found out how to tell from their code.

So how do you tell from their code? Do share!

[annewandering]

first three numbers are the day number of being packed starting with jan 1st as 001 and dec 31 being 365. If you have a number say 060 that means it was packed on March 1st. If my math is right.

Rumor has it that Colonel Sanders puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it.

[Apple_Acres]

Fortnightly.

I thought you could only make cheese from raw milk. Maybe there are other store brands that aren't as pasteurized.

That explains my cravings for it at times.

All you have to do is heat it to break the bonds of the fat from the liquids and then it will make cheese.

If it is true walmart milk cant be used it is probably related to it being reconstituted from dry milk. Dont know if you can make cheese from dry milk but I doubt it.

That can not possibly be true, Col Sanders is dead, how could he be putting something in his chicken? .

It's those Wal-Mart cows that are the problem....

In the summer we used to get garlic flavored milk from wild garlic so you may have an idea there!
