<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sometimes we have a lot of unused milk overflowing after opening it, and you're wondering, "How long does the milk powder last after opening the can?"</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In general, milk powder is available as a whole milk powder that lasts 6-9 months, or as skim milk that lasts about two years. When its package is opened, the powdered milk should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and sunlight. Tip: To avoid clumps, use cold water first to dissolve the powdered milk.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It is recommended to use airtight plastic or glass containers to preserve the milk, but bear in mind that the production and expiry date should be written on the container or on adhesive paper tape, as a reminder during the period of storage and use.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Although powdered milk is suitable for use within a period of one and a half years or 18 months from the date of its production, its consumption period should not exceed 3 months from the date of opening the package.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It is preferable to keep dried milk in the refrigerator, or a cool, dark place, not exposed to sunlight or direct heat, to avoid damage, noting its color and smell continuously.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Unopened milk powder can be used and stored from the expiry date printed on the package, and the shelf life of the milk powder depends on its type, for example, skim milk lasts longer than whole milk.</p>
