how can soy milk from chinese store gone bad in 1 day in the fridge!!

[farfargurl]

This is the second time around that a I have brought chinese banded soy milk from foodymart and it gone bad after 1 night! I opened it last night and had a cup, it was great. Just now, I was going for it, I pour it out and notice it got thickened! I smelled and tasted it....no funny taste or smell yet, but it was thick, I mean thicken then whip cream, lol. Expiry date is marked at Aug 5th. I kept it in the fridge for the entire night. How can it go bad so quick. This had happened to me last time, too, but I thought it was just bad luck for me, but now its happening around, I think something is going on here.......anyone got some input on this....sigh

After that one cup did you leave it outside?
As you mention before that thickened whip cream that just the soy milk layers... The Expiry date is Not even due yet ...so why worry? if you don't want to see it, just shake the bottle... or maybe your fridge didn't turn up the temperature

Now is gone ...

This is what you call "small drink big Issue?"

We had the same issue a few years back with soy milk from asian supermarkets. After a few days of opening the product it would thicken and "apparently" go bad while being in a fully functioning fridge the whole time. We were unsure of the cause so decided to stop buying them. Hopefully somebody can shed some light on the reason for the seemingly short duration for soya milk products.

most likely it has gone bad from the delivery truck to the store. Imagine the driver keeps on opening & closing the truck doors all the time during delivery while the outside temp is well into the 30's.

Take it back to the store.

I will never buy refrigerated stuff from an asian supermarket other than T&T. Too many times I have seen cartons of OJ outside a cooler.

[farfargurl]

my fridge is perfectly fine! I have kept daily stuff from sour cream to milk fresh for long time. I don't think foodymart will refund or exchange my money for it, and plus I trashed the receipt in the parking lot already. sigh, another lesson learned, do not buy chinese banded soy milk!@

Have you ever taken a look around Foodymart? They always leave stuff that should be refrigerated sitting in the middle of the floor. Makes me wonder what else is sitting in their storing area waiting to be shelved.

Maybe pirated milk

[thelefteyeguy]

cause aholes take it to the cashier...find out they either have no money or it's too expensive and just leave it around. End of the day workers refridgerate it again.


now you can make mo-po tofu out of it.

Summer time and high heat is always a bad combination for cold soy products - whether at the grocery or even at restaurants. It is related to the constant opening/closing of the delivery vehicles (your luck is probably best when you're at the grocers in the morning, and seeing the deliveries being made into the cold drink/soy sections). Deliveries in the afternoon are a lot iffy-er especially since the constant temperature fluctuations are not a friend to help keep the soy products at their safe temperature range.

Also, watch out for soy milk from food courts, often given away with your meals... very often it's overly sweetened (to cover up the rancidness?!)

My guess is that either a few rotten soy beans in the mix or they mixed up the batch of soy beans that's been soaking for too long.

Invest $50 and buy a Joyoung soy milk maker. You don't even need to soak the beans on some models, and they work with other types of grains including sesame seeds, mung beans, red beans, rice, etc.

You can also just get fresh soymilk at the Kennedy Peachtree mall (located inside - near the supermarket). They have different flavours and you can get it with or without sugar (not all flavours though).

In addition, their tofu flower is pretty nice as well.

Agree - don't take the soy milk from the foodcourt - I was the victim of one of these :-(

Pay a little extra for a can of pop or Nestea or bottled water - it's much safer.

many chinese foodcourt soy milk all taste like water! they diluted the soy milk with water so they can make double the serving amount

This happened to us many times as well. So we stopped buying the soy milk packaged in plastic jugs (usually made by a local tofu company) and instead buy the ones in the paper cartons ( sun rise, so good brands etc). We think they taste better as well, with more soy flavour.
