1 Malcolm  · No taste more like long life milk, would not buy ever again
1 pheit  · Woolworths should be fined for advertising as full cream milk. Without doubt, the cream has mostly been extracted
2 R.H  · Weird taste in Coffee (but not tea) – Woolworths milk often has weird taste to it in Coffee, Coles is better and never a problem with Aldi milk.
1 whitepointer  · Watered down rubbish – Horrible taste, compare thus side by side with other full cream milk and you will taste the huge difference.
1 Wendy  · Home brand milk Woolworths – It’s watery and has no flavour like full cream milk should have?
1 Shagarmaker  · taste like sum – can not use this in instant coffee as it makes it taste shieethouse. Rex is right, daisy nfg. listen to the fans

Woolworths 2lt full cream milk does not last any where near the use by date. I have had to throw out the last 3 consecutive purchases with around 500ml still in them because it was curdled, and in each case the use by date was another 5 to 7 days away. On top of that, it does look like it is watered down. This is not the "fresh" that Woolworths is… Read more

advertising. Someone could become seriously ill consuming this Woolworths product in Woolgoolga NSW. Buyer beware and avoid!

Agree with everyone else. Woolies and Cole’s home brand milk has to be watered down. It tastes watery, looks watery and morning coffee is now a weird grey colour and like skim milk added!!! Absolute rubbish.

Update: Saturday 02 May 2026 I bought 01 May 2026 a bottle of Norco Full Cream milk and once again, making great cappuccino’s! Thanks Norco for a ‘real’ full cream milk. See additional photos. Original review: I’m not sure what has changed with Woolworths Full Cream Milk 2L bottles but using it in a milk frother is a non event. We’ve been… Read more

using WW Full Cream Milk for years and on the odd occasion the milk would go off well before the expiry date but lately trying to make a nice cappuccino with a nice layer of frothed milk on top is non existent. We thought it was our Nespresso milk frother but when we bought Norco Full Cream Milk there was no problem. So last week I bought once more a WW Full Cream Milk 2L at Woolworths Centro Gympie QLD and again a fail, so now I wonder if the WW Full Cream Milk you buy is not the same quality as we were used too - almost looks like watered down. So back to Norco and support the local business. See photos attached, tried to leave a review on the WW site but gave up.

Not happy – Lately the bottles of milk are splitting when in freezer. Thawing out is a disaster. I think there is a fault in the plastic, maybe. Photos are displaying this.

Rotten Milk – I have just thrown away the 5th 1 litre pack of Woolies longlife milk. Each one when pored into tea curdled. The best before date on 3 cartons was 30/8/25 on the last two best before 31/8/25. Is this caused by bad handling practices? Very costly and annoying. Show details

Curdles – I bought 3 packs of Woolworths milk on 7th of January 2025. There is something wrong with all the packs. There is no off smell but as soon as I try to make my tea and warm it I dont know why it curdles and ruin my tea. I have to open all three of them but same problem. Show details

Tasteless – Woolworths milk just like Coles milk is basically tasteless. I've been drinking this stuff for years only because it's cheap, just like me. Went to the a 7/11 today in desparate need of bread, bought the only milk they had which was Dairy Farmers Full cream. Hadn't drunk this stuff in many years. Got back home and the taste was unreal. So much creamier and with actual taste. Will be buying this moving forward. Show details

Watered Woolies Milk – Absolutely convinced Woolworths home brand full cream milk is watered down. Have tried so many other brands including other home brands from other grocery stores and it is by far the most tasteless and watery. Show details

Watery in looks and taste – Woolworths full-cream milk looks more watery and tastes like it's been watered down when compared to name brands like Norco or Dairy Farmers When we use Woolworths milk in our milk frothing machine it inevitably always overflows but when using name brand milk e don't have this issue. Big pass on Woolworths full-cream milk. Show details

Erratic quality with this milk lately – I've bought this milk for years, although during lockdown switched to long life. Since going back to it I've noticed a change in the taste, being now similar to reconstituted milk; not horrible - just strange. 3 purchases ago my 3L bottle lasted 7 days past the 'best before' (I don't always check the date and usually go by smell). Quite a… Read more

surprise! However, the last two bottles have had to be thrown out six days BEFORE their due date due to going off! Woolworths kindly refunded me, but it means having to go back and buy more!

All Woolworths milk tastes weird, even same brand sold elsewhere – I would like to know why most of the milk sold at Woolworths (not only Woolys branded) has a weird chemical taste. I can buy the same brand and sized milk from another supermarket and blind taste them and tell you which one is from Woolworths, how can this be? Show details

What’s happened to the milk!!!! – Got to agree with everyone else. Something has happened to the milk. The milk not only is quite diluted therefore no longer froths when using the coffee machine but it tastes so nasty that i just tip it down the sink.

Woollies Drought Relief Full Cream milk not frothing!! Watered down disappointment – Have been buying this milk for a while thinking I was helping farmers legitimately, but when the milk stops frothing in the milk frother - I know it’s been watered down. It’s progressively produced less froth and now I don’t get any froth at all. I get a lot more from my oat milk. Kids get upset when they don’t get a frothy milk and I’m sure it’s… Read more

designed to make me spend more on other milk. Woolies would be better off not supplying it at all. I’d like some answers to why this is happening.

What is wrong with Woolworths Lite Milk – I have been purchasing Woolworths brand milk for years but recently have noticed a very disagreeable taste to their lite milk. This change seems to have occurred around the same time they changed the labels. Is it reconstituted? Is it from a different country? Are they adding things to it? What has happened? I drink a lot of milk and this is just horrible. Woolworths. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Show details

Tastes bad – Over the last couple of months evertyime I buy a 2L or 3L woolworths branded milk from Logan Central location it tastes off and undrinkable. I end up buying from 7/11 and never have any problems. It could be the fridge temps as bought branded and have similar issues. Regardless will never buy milk from woolworths again money wasted  Show details

Woollies milk bad chemical taste – We use both woolies and coles milk and couldnt pin what was causing the bad taste. Thought it was the washing up detetgent. The last milk purchssed was a 2ltr woolies. The first use was ok but when it got to the half way mark the taste in the coffe was terrible. Did an illimination trial and after using different milk the taste went. It may be a sediment in the bottom. Will not buy woolies milk any more.  Show details

Woolworth brand milk curdles – Woolworths please take action as we have reported it couple of times to store as well and no action taken so far. We require you to take some action for food safety. Never happened like this in the past just recently from a year or so.  Show details

What is this – I'm sick of taking pot luck with this product. Most of the time it stinks of some type of overpowering chemical. My advice is to source a different brand. Woolies silence on this should raise concern. Not touching it ever again. Show details
