Can soy milk spoil, and if so, how?

Answer 3

Yes. All food can spoil. Soy milk contains proteins, sugars, starches, all the same sorts of things that regular milk contain, and like regular milk, bacteria will start eating it, and growing, and forming colonies of chunks and moldy stuff. In fact, I believe that with soy milk, it happens sooner, since soy is easier to digest than regular milk.

Of course, properly sealed soy milk should not spoil, but I would still use it before the expiration date.

Answer 4

Whatev..... Cook with spoiled soy... who gives a danm if your entire family gets sick? ....No but seriously, I don't care how dumb these other people are, you can totally cook with recentlhy spoiled milk or soy milk... Nothing magically happens on the day that it 'expires'... Using common sense should be plenty when deciding whether ot not milk is 'safe' to use.

Answer 5

Yes. It will have an expiration date on it like any perishable item. Bacteria are able to penetrate the cells and break them down and eventually take over, changing the composition of the soy milk and the taste, or causing it to "spoil".

Answer 6

It does spoil, but different from milk. It gets old from oxidation (opening it up for the first time) As long as it stays sealed, it will not spoil.

"Don't drink straight out of the carton!" — just like Mom always told you. When you drink out of the carton, bacteria from your mouth can get into the soy milk which increases the risk of spoilage.

Write the date you opened your soy milk on the screw cap or side of the carton. Remember, Silk stays fresh for seven to 10 days after you open it, up until the date printed on the top of the carton.

Keep it in the middle of your refrigerator. The top or very back of a refrigerator tends to be the coldest, which could cause it to freeze. Don't store it in the refrigerator door either. Door storage changes temperature more than any other part of the refrigerator.

Don't leave soy milk unrefrigerated. While it will not spoil if left out for an hour or two, those two unrefrigerated hours do shorten the life span of your soy milk. In fact, every hour on your counter equals one day off its life expectancy.

For you parents who like to give soy milk to your youngsters, be careful with those bottles and sippy cups. Just like regular dairy milk, soy milk can sour if left unrefrigerated.

The process of making soy milk is designed to produce a uniform product. If your soy milk doesn't look, smell or taste the way it usually does, it may be spoiled. Fresh soy milk does not have a strong odor. Signs of spoilage include:

The package looks abnormally bloated
When poured, the soy milk appears to have thickened slightly
The color of the soy milk has changed (chocolate turns lighter and vanilla may look beige)
It is so thick that it won't pour easily, or it looks like a milk shake and has curds or lumps
Any smell resembling dying flowers, sour milk or chemicals
A slightly "off" or beany flavor, or a bitter, metallic, earthy, grassy or extremely sweet taste

If you are unsure about whether your soy milk has spoiled, do not drink it or cook with it.

Hope this helps!

Answer 7

soy milk can not spoil by leaving it out

Answer 8

Yeah, bacteria gets into it like any other beverage. It starts to smell off and sour after about 10 days in the fridge.

Answer 9

Yes, usually within a few days. Soy milk is also bad for you as is most soy products. The only way to eat it is if it's been fermented, like miso soup.

Answer 10

any moist food that contacts air can spoil. And that pretty much means all food. although the only food considered never to go bad by the FDA...is honey.
