What is microfiltration?

All milk, no matter the variety, takes more or less the same journey to get to your glass. Upon its arrival at the factory, milk is skimmed and then pasteurized. The extracted and pasteurized cream is combined together, thus giving us 1%, 2%, or 3.25% milk.

Here’s the difference with microfiltered milk: The milk is skimmed first and then strained using a microscopic filter. This step is a one-of-a-kind purification process that eliminates up to 99.9% of impurities, resulting in a refreshingly creamy finished product.

Is it just me or have there been quite a few milk deals ever since the price went up?

Surprisingly, since the milk price increase these Filtered Milk deals started to show up.
Don't know why.

The Deal is there if you want.

My guess is due to the extra filtration costs pennies over the ordinary and then there is the "expiry date" on the marked up milk.

There is a noticeable difference, less "beefiness, milkiness".

Good deal for sure. I often freeze it.

I noticed a big difference with the taste of filtered milk and long term keeping quality. Filtered milk will go 30 days or more. Regular milk does not come close. Good for small users who have space and want the savings as well.

The increase in price for both milk and eggs is almost criminal.

Part of the landscape is that US milk companies are battling for space on Canadian shelves. It was only (last year?) that American companies were allowed to sell their milk here at all, and so they’ve done all sorts of American-style tactics and Canadian companies have had to respond, sometimes to change branding or sacrifice short-term profit

It's what we voted for. You drop rates this low and print this much money (~25% increase in M2 in Canada, a TON more currency in circulation) you get significant currency devaluation relative to commodity input costs. It costs more dollars to buy the inputs to create the product, so it costs more. Doesn't help that the processing facilities are still so disrupted either, which should hopefully get addressed with time.

I still see both milk and egg as really cheap for the nutrition, it's a really inexpensive source of high quality calories, but the trajectory isn't great.

I am not aware of any current American milk. I do know that one of the American options is now Canadian made: https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/f ... 41229.html
