One of a series of genuine search engine enquiries which successfully brought visitors to the Ministry.  Can I help?

is milk that has 'gone off' safe to drink

Ew! I don't think I could even bring it close to my nose & mouth without retching. The smell, slightly reminiscent of strawberries, is amongst my least favourite.

How 'off' is 'off'? If it's basically okay, but leaves tiny white specks on the surface of tea or coffee, I think you'd get away with it – after all, it's been near-sterilised by boiling water.
