Waitrose milk pouches - can they be frozen??

Hi All,

I was in waitrose today to pick up milk and saw those milk pouches they sell reduced to 56p so I took a chance and bought 6 of them.

Does anyone know if I can freeze them??? Didnt want to try without asking on here in case they exploded.

    i would think they would be ok to freeze...give them a good shake on thawing as they may seperate a bit but should taste fine

    Hi there

    they freeze as well as other milk packaging - however - i would be careful defrosting as some can develop small leaks - use a bowl just in case - we have had a few floods in the past

    Easiest to transfer to clean plastic milk cartons for freezing (wash, sterilize with Milton or Milton alike, leave an inch of headroom for expansion.)
    Otherwise, clean the bags before freeezing and defrost in a jug or bowl - them if they leak it won't matter as the milk won't get into contact with anything dirty.
