I purchased some whole milk, and it has a sell-by date of April 5th. Is that typical? I bought it about a week ago. Does whole milk usually have a longer shelf life? I’m used to 2%, which typically lasts only 1-2 weeks at most.

Yes, it’s normal for whole milk to have a sell-by date that’s a few weeks from when you purchase it. Whole milk typically lasts longer than 2% milk because of its higher fat content, which can help preserve it. Generally, if stored properly in the refrigerator, whole milk can last about a week after the sell-by date; however, it’s always a good idea to check for signs of spoilage like off smells or changes in texture. If it looks and smells fine, it should be good to consume!
