Milk has a shorter shelf life than many other foods, so this is a common concern. Most store-bought milk is pasteurized, a process that heats it to kill pathogens. But pasteurization doesn’t eliminate everything, explains food safety expert Brian Labus, Ph.D., M.P.H., REHS.

The top 10 percent of earners now account for nearly half of consumer spending, more than ever before, according to the data available. Thanks to inflation, wealth skyrocketed for people who own houses or stocks, while those without have seen their purchasing power plummet. Meanwhile, upper-middle class incomes are rising much faster than median ones.
