How should I store milk for freshness?
To keep milk fresh, it should be stored in the refrigerator at 38 F. It should be dispensed from the refrigerator and not left out on the table during a meal or after serving . All milk products need to be refrigerated to maintain freshness.
How do I know if the milk I buy is fresh?
Dairy products are identified with a "sell by" date. For example, a milk carton with a code JAN 30TH may be sold until January 30th. The printed "sell by" code is only a guarantee of freshness for a product that has been refrigerated properly and has not been opened. If a product is purchased and then opened, it may not remain fresh until the "sell by" date. Exposure to air and heat will diminish the milk's shelf life.
rBST Explained
Driftwood does not use milk from dairies that treat their cows with rBST (rBGH). rBST (Bovine Samatropin) was approved by the FDA for sale and use with dairy cattle starting February 4, 1994. There is absolutely no difference in milk from rBST supplemented herds as compared to non-rBST supplemented herds, and that there are no health risks involved. However, we have instructed our milk supplier that we require our raw milk only from herds that do not supplement with rBST. rSBT is no longer used in California.

People are considered fully vaccinated for COVID-19: two weeks (14 days) or more after they have received the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), or two weeks or more after they have received a single-dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson). Unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated workers must be tested at least once weekly either PCR testing or antigen testing.
