Why does...?

Question

milk need to be refridgerated if the cow is warm....i am serious this has been driving me crazy....thankz

Answer 1

When it is still within the udder of a cow, the milk is okay. After milking it must be stored, then after being pastuerized and homogenized, it must be kept cool. Milk is very healty for you, unfortunately, this causes bacteria to flourish on it. If you keep it warm, the bacterea are at the proper temperature to survive, and have all the nutrients they need.

Answer 2

The milk will go bad if it doesn't reach a certain temperature within 40 minutes, it can grow all kinds of bacteria and taste strange if it isn't cooled quickly.

Answer 3

that is a good question maybe cause of the other stuff they add to the milk

Answer 4

Because of lots of things. First of all, warm milk is disgusting. Second of all, milk has to reach a certain temperature in a certain amount of time or it will grow harmful bacteria. And lastly, this goes for any beverage served in plastic containers: if it gets warm enough (it has to be quite warm), the chemicals from the plastic start to mix with the beverage, which usually wouldn't matter that much, but one of the chemicals in plastic causes breast cancer.
