For the last (6) six times I've purchased milk from Aldis at 76st and Ashland and also at 47th and Laflin. Both in Chicago, IL; the milk spoils within (4) four days. I just kept trying, to no avail! My e-mail is [protected]@hotmail.com. James Searcy

Don't know when the post was made, as I can see no date, but my comment is being written on 2/9/17. The last TWO times I've bought gallons of FRIENDLY FARMS MILK at our new Aldi here in Tyler, TX, it has spoiled well before the use by date. 3 gallons in a row now. Quite alarming and distressing.

This is exactly what I would like to complain about. My Aldi store is in Inglewood, CA. Same issue, the milk is spoiling well before the expiration date in the cold refrigerator.

I purchased Friendly Farms Almond milk from Aldi in Houston and today, the date of expiration, August 17th, I poured what was left (1/4th) in the carton into my sink. What came out was a sheet of slick spongy gross stuff that was obviously lining the bottom of the carton. I am mortified! The milk was still good because my son and I had a glass of it last night.

I purchased Friendly Farms Lactose Free milk, at approximately double the price of your regular milk. I drank one 8 ounce glass. I got sick with lactose intolerance symptoms. When a product says lactose free, that shouldn't mean 50% or 25% lactose reduced. Don't you test your products? I need to hold down a job, and can't afford to be getting sick at work because of false advertising. I won't be buying this product again.

For all the people who have had problems with spoiled milk . The Co. like most today "ultra" pasteurizes their milk which gives it way greater shelf life, which makes it all the harder to understand why the milk is bad . Also, you do not want to "ultra" pasteurize milk because it kills the good as well as the bad bacteria, not good at all .

Broken/torn product seal on Friendly Farms, sugar free, French Vanilla non-dairy coffee creamer.

Upon removing cap to remove the aluminum seal, observed a portion of seal missing (approx 40%-50%) and torn. Container instructions say " Do not drink if seal is broken or missing". Several pictures taken and manufacturing codes recorded. Will return defective container to local Aldi for product replacement.

Have not found Friendly Farms customer contact phone # or email address on-line to send feedback.

Item was opened 11/20/2020 and purchased approx 3-13 Nov 2020 from either Aldi store in Haines City (Hwy 27), FL, or Aldi store in Poinciana, FL.

Would appreciate contact from appropriate customer service representative.

We're having the same problem with both 1% milk and vanilla almond milk spoiling before the expiration date. Has happened multiple times. Poured both 1% and almond milk down the drain yesterday because of spoilage. I have a new refrigerator and no issues with any other dairy products. Despite Aldi price being cheaper, it doesn't pay if we're pouring it down the drain. My son asked that I not purchase milk at Aldi's any longer. I agree. I am a weekly customer at Aldi's in Rockaway, NJ.

Same exact thing. I bought 2 containers of almond milk yesterday. Opened today and poured out thick like slime. Returned to the store today to get two new ones. Checked them and yet another one poured out thick and gross. The manager told me it’s not milk, I don’t know what to tell you. He told me he wouldn’t exchange anymore . He didn’t care. Been shopping at Aldis for years and this manager was an arrogant piece of trash. Duh I know it’s not milk but almond milk is liquid not slime consistency! Don’t assume the customer is always an idiot! I’ve been drinking almond milk for years! I guess he thought I was ripping off his paycheck 1.79 directly and wasted my time returning product that was good?! Hmm I don’t have that kind of time on my hands. Customer service poor! Lesson learned. Inconvenience him and return everything I bought the day before?!

That's ridiculous!. I hate it when store mgrs act like you're actually offending them personally, lol. But clearly it's this brand and someone needs to investigate.
