A2 Milk Lite 2L (was $5.50) - expiry 27 Jan
Norco Milk Full Cream 1.5L (was $3.80) - expiry 31 Jan
Obviously both reduced to clear with short expiry dates… but perhaps the Norco one will be good for some.

What's the difference between organic and non organic milk? Serious question.
organic milk means the cows are anti-vax
The serious answer… nobody labels milk as non organic. The people who do label their milk as organic are simply using marketing terms to sell their produce. If we’re talking cows milk here, they’re all organic.
"As it is a voluntary standard, businesses do not necessarily have to meet the requirements of this standard in order to label and sell their products as ‘organic’ within Australia."
Taken from accc.
So if you don't meet the standard there isn't a thing stopping you from labeling it organic.
Same thing with permeate free. Pretty sure all milk was but one company started making it a point in their TV ads. Every other milk company had to follow and change their labelling, even though the product was the same.

From what I understand organic milk have cows raised with organic feed and no hormone injections or anything so the feed the cows eat don't have pesticide in them etc.
Non organic milk can have anything from hormone injected into the cows and pesticide on the feed which could have trace residues in the cows milk.
Honestly not sure myself.
Some more information but not sure if this only relates to the US or also Australia.
While organic milk and regular milk have similar nutrition and serve the same purpose, organic milk last substantially longer than conventional milk. Organic milk undergoes a process called "ultra-pasteurization" where it is heated to 280°F for 2 seconds, rather than 161°F for 15 seconds like conventional milk. This allows it to last for 40 to 60 days after opening, compared to 15 to 17 days for conventional milk that is pasteurized at a lower temperature. So, if you run into problems with your milk going bad before you can finish it, organic milk might be something worth trying.
From this American article it seems organic is more natural and has less chance of having trace residue of other stuff in the milk.
No idea if Australia works the same way or not but since a lot of stuff and practices have come from America I wouldn't put it pass it.
i dont think they use ultra-pasteurization in Australia.
There is some mew technique called Haelen method, but it appears to be a bit of hype over substance so far, but might have some hope (claiming 21 days fresh after opening).
Norco Milk is the best!
Op. Do we have to do the sniff test now? 😅
