I don't really like milk but love a bowl of cereal of an evening.
Problem is that I can't be bothered going to the shops and I have a bottle of long-life skimmed milk which is dated 27/04/2012.
Will it be safe to use, bearing in mind its about a week out of date and I assume skimmed milk has almost no dairy in it?

If its still sealed then I doubt you'll have a problem. If its open it'll probably still be fine, if in doubt smell it. If its lumpy you'll probably want to give it a miss! I personally often have semi skimmed fresh milk in my fridge that's a week out of date and is still fine!

Kind of. Its the foreign version 'ecreme' which basically translates as skimmed. Its sealed and in a white non seethrough plastic bottle. In the supermarket its never chilled but I have it in the Fridgidaire.

I occasionally buy skimmed milk for coffee and, just for the sake of experimentation, I had a bottle of Cravendale that was 6 months past it's end date when I threw it. It still smelt fine, but I wasn't about to start using it for my breakfast White Russian sessions.

In answer to the original question- Yes you will die.
As a result of using the milk? Probably not.
Hope this helps.
