Milk spoils 7 days before expiration date

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Since the first of 2024 in Sacramento County, Crystal's milk spoils way before the expiration date. When I've asked several merchants about this they say somethings going on at the factory...

Resolved: Complaint about their milk

Crystal Creamery - Complaint about their milk
Updated by user Aug 05, 2024

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I received a coupon in the mail which I appreciate very much but I found out after I purchased another half gallon of milk that it wasn’t your fault and I apologize for that.

It’s my refrigerator I guess I still had it turned down to a lower setting for the past winter. The next milk I bought went bad too and it wasn’t your brand (which I have no problem with it’s always good quality) so I’m sorry for my mistake.

Original review Jul 28, 2024

I bought a half gallon of your Crystal milk because the brand I normally buy was out. Your milk had an expiration date of 8/05 and it went bad already!!

Thats a week early!!

Im very unhappy and I had to use gas to go buy more milk. Im very low income I cant afford stuff like this to happen plus Im very good about keeping it refrigerated and not leaving it out any longer than a minute.

This milk is the only milk I've been able to drink directly poured from the carton, in my whole life. It's always so clean and fresh, and doesn't leave a weird 'film' on your tongue or on the roof of your mouth.

It can also be drunk at room temperature - just plain amazing milk. Stores, restaurants and families come to our local store and clear out the cooler to take this milk, cottage cheese, and sour cream home with them because the producers truck doesn't travel to their areas.

Lack of cottage cheese in store

My name is Steve. I have been a lifetime consumer of cottage cheese.

My mother would go to the store when we were kids and my brothers and I would fight over the cottage cheese. We always bought the yellow container of cottage cheese. Quite a few years ago, they changed the recipe. I did not like it and I told them so.

I went years without eating cottage cheese until I found yours. Its the best cottage cheese Ive ever had. Awesome. Now I cant find it in the store where I shop.

The WalMart in Rocklin California. Almost every time I go in there they are completely out or just have 1 container. Please bring more to this store.

I would buy many if available. Thank you

I got some cream from Safeway that was sour upon opening

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had two bad experiences with packaging where I had to use a knife to get the cream out

They kindly gave me a coupon for the sour cream

My opinion

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Of all the ice cream available at Walmart, Crystal Vanilla Ice Cream has the best taste...also the best price. Definitely beats Breyers or Dryers brand, and Blue Bunnie is supposedly not even real ice cream.

User's recommendation: If you are buying ice cream at Walmart go for Crystal brand.

Crystal ice cream thawed and re-frozen.

I would like to purchase more. Until this problem is addressed and solved, I will not.

Thank You,

BMy gallon of fat free milk spoiled in 2days after opening. Usually buy organic but there was no fat free at store so bought regular fat free.

Wondering why organic has much longer date then regular. Would like refund.

My experience with whipping cream and half and half

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Greetings, Crystal Creamery: Although I wrote earlier today, I have been invited to register and resubmit my experience, and that regarding cream and half and half. On three occasions, my heavy whipping cream has been curdled and sour -- today's newly opened container had a sell-by date of 18 May.

More often than not, my half and half container spout has been impossible to unfold to an open position. I love the flavor of these milk products and use them daily in coffee and cereal; however, both the premature spoilage and difficulty of opening has temporarily put me off. Holiday Market, Penn Valley, Calif., has always been good with refunds, but today, I'm sorry to say, I went for replacement with organic (which I DO NOT prefer to your product). I wish to remain a loyal drinker of Crystal but seek resolution to this ongoing problem before continuing with further purchases.

I seek a solution. Yours truly, Lew Istre

Spoiled heavy whipping cream, although newly purchased, on three separate occasions.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Thank you for what has been a good product; however, in the recent past, my whipping cream has been unusable on three separate occasions, though opened well before the sell-by date. This morning, I opened a new container (sell-by of 18 May) and it was curdled and sour.

Now that I think of it, on several occasions your half and half cartons could not be satisfactorily opened. I do like your products, but I need my coffee first thing in the morning, and that without disappointment and hassle. I understand that things can go wrong. Please reply at your convenience.

Thank you. Lew Istre
