The fresh milk at Aldi Melbourne continues to spoil before its best before date. Initially I took some back for a refund and the staff were great. That was months ago but we are still continuing to see this milk spoil before the due date . Other fresh milks we buy don’t do this. Show details

Milk gone off – My milk went off before expiry date,it's not due to expire before the 26th august 2024,it made me sick because the milk went off milk before expiry date never again will I purchase milk from aldi Show details
Better than non organic.. i hope and only $1 more – I don't know if its a new product line, but I noticed on shelf the other day ALDI have organic full cream milk. Label says ACO Certified Organic reg No. 514 No information on labelling about how what when why. I am guessing the cows are not feed GMO food. Price was $4.49 for 2L in Perth Jun 2024 This site talks about organic milk differences -… Read more

Milk tastes different than the normal full cream. Not why I bought it but taste is good.
Sold off – Ok, so I’ve thought maybe it’s my fridge. Or maybe I’ve gone into the fridge a little too often. I don’t leave it on the bench as it’s gone off before the expiry date before. But this time, I bought it one day, with 6 or 7 days until use by date. Then I went to use it the next day, and it’s off already. So still 6 days left. Show details

I'm not very picky about the milk taste, I've tried every milk product there is. What I love about this Farmdale brand milk is it never goes bad after a week or more, unlike the plant-based milk products that I've tried. Plus, it's packed with standard nutrients my body needs especially A1 and A2 proteins. If you're a fussy milk-drinker or have a bad digestive enzymes, this isn't your cup of milk. Show details
Nice and Creamy – Full Cream tastes great and is nice and creamy. I was surprised to see the rating so low. It seems most of the low reviews aren't about the product though so... Show details
Hard to open 1ltr cardboard carton – I like the 1ltr farmdale milk it's my go to choice for taste and price " but the carton is hard to open " I wish someone would ask Aldi CEO to open a few cartons. Show details
Negative reviews
Impossible to open – Predict sales of Farmdale Long Life Milk wil decrease by 10-25% over next 12 months as many peoplke lack the vice like strength and muscles to oipen the lid. Do they ever try the product when they make changes to the packaging? Show details
Poor not a good experience – Farmdale Lactose free milk I buy this all the time please improve the packaging in the 1 liter fresh carton. Not sure what product you use to close it but it's terrible to open l have to get a knife and put a hole in the top so i can open the carton tjis happens all the time. Then i can't pour my milk out of carton Because l have to rip it open! Show details
Health Issue - Milk always off – Sour and off even though just opened. Not just a bad batch, this is something to do with their process. The lids have always leaked and dried, leaving crusty dried sour milk on the lid and tamper seal. I have bought this product a number of times and always the same after a day. Tipped 9 litres down the sink today, even though it was still days away from the best before date.

This was the best tasting creamy milk I've ever had from a supermarket. Sadly it's gone and I keep looking for it everywhere. Where had this great tasting milk gone??? Show details
Follow-up · It just tastes better amd creamier, I'm drinking the same brand actually but the long life box milk.
I think is ok - don't agree on the taste judgements that are adverse - what does need to improve is carton packaging. Cardboard packaging leaks everywhere - not good if you'd like to keep fridge clean for another owner or charitable use. Happy to pay more if cardboard packaging was improved. Justin Kew Show details

shouldn't be for sale – Terrible stuff. 12 days before use by and it's undrinkable, bought yesterday. In milk frother to make a coffee and it splits and won't froth like real milk. I'm not sure what it is but this milk seems artificial. Coffee tasted horrible. Show details
This is not good the milk is to expensive – Aldi should put the prices down on the milk cause it’s to expensive to buy some people can’t afford to buy milk put the prices down don’t put the prices up Show details
I will never buy again – I found there were still bits of white floating on my cup of tea even though I shook the bottle. Then two days before use by date, I heated in microwave and it turned solid curd. Undrinkable. Show details
Disappointing – 12.0g of sugar per every 100ml. I was unable to sense the true flavour of the milk I would ask is it really necessary to mask the true flavour of a natural product? In the future, I will avoid this product . Show details
1 litre cardboard container – Opening the carton is hit and miss; sometimes ok, sometimes I wreck the opening trying to initially open. I would have thought consistency of customer experience in using the product would be more reliable by now... big ALDI fan, but this is testing me... Show details
Tastes like metal – Woke up to drink a fresh glass this morning (bought yesterday) and the metallic taste was overpowering. Might as well have gone and licked the metal lamp posts out front of the house, would’ve tasted better! Show details
Tastes like powdered milk – We purchased 2L farmdale fresh milk from Aldi this week and was horrified to discover it tastes like cheap milk powder. Entire bottle went down the drain. Not good Aldi, not good indeed. Show details
Been ok but lately not – We buy Aldi Farmdale brand most of the time. Lately it just isn’t the same. It tastes like it’s mixed with powder milk. Has an artificial taste to it. Tossed away, not buying this brand after reading reviews and experiencing something’s off. Show details

My fridge is fine, I tried other milk brands and didnt have a problem, struthe.. what is in this milk?? It ain't natural. Dont buy this Aldi's milk. Show details
Taste like chemicals – 2L milk gone in drain. Had worst coffee in my life, thanks to chemical tasting milk. After that i dared to sniff the milk bottle and almost fainted. Bad Taste lingered in my mouth, even after half day after having it. Show details
Perfect for those who like creamy and does not smell like cows – I have just found this milk brand, and I absolutely love it. I love creamy-kind of milk and this milk is absolutely creamy. What I noticed from other brands is that I could smell the cows by drinking the milk, but this milk absolutely doesn't smell like cows. I LOVE IT!!! Show details
Good milk – Is a good product but the people that say it's "off" or "taste's weird" might want to hear from someone who grew up on a dairy. Some types of feed particularly green feeds can affect the taste of milk. Any brand can be affected also recent transport problems have affected when product is picked up from the dairy and taken for processing. Cleanliness at any point in the supply chain is a issue of consideration as well. Show details
off before date – bought at kellyville store expiry 2 march 2022 but already taste sour on 28/02/2022. A lot of people complain about milk has gone off before the expiry date on this site, but seems aldi not listening. I think this is due to their rotating system of the milk, milk already on the back warehouse but did not come out until old one finished.
SOUR MILK – On three separate occasions I have had to return Aldi's Farmadale Light milk as it has been 'off'. On 31st January I'd returned a sour 2 litre carton of sour milk, still with six days left by date stamp, and received a replacement, use by 9th February. This morning, 3rd February, I prepared my porridge as usual, then poured milk from this latest… Read more
unopened container on it. Instead of milk, foul smelling lumps fell out. I had to throw my porridge out. I will NOT be buying Aldi's milk ever again
Aldi milk needs recalling – Over the past 2 weeks milk with use by dates 4th, 7th and 9th all sour and curdled. I spoke to a storeperson to ask if the product was being recalled and he said it wasn't, but "lots of people had been returning it". He suggested we do the same. Show details
Horrible product, goes bad way before expiry date – Bought this in Dec and Jan four times. All four times, milk went bad 7-9 days before expiry date. We could hardly use it, had to throw most of it. Show details
