We buy a lot of milk in 4pt bottles. Never had any leaks. We buy mainly from Waitrose or Sainsbury’s, they are very near home, all other supermarkets are 16-20 miles return.0

With milk in 4 pint plastic bottles, I lie them down in the trolley or basket and by the time I get to the checkout I can usually see or feel for any leaks at the cap. I haven't had any leaking for a while though, in fact some of the seals are so tough now it's an effort to remove them.0

Unfortunately, practically ... what I wrote was correct. The same problem occurred when switching to ALDI milk. That's when I noticed the codes were the same, and thought "hmmm".And yes, my fridge is working correctly.Whatever the problem was went away after a while, I've not noticed it in months now.May have been around the time they made the shift from Use By to Best Before, and that caused some kind of logistics problem in deciding what milk should be put where, and when. Or just co-incidence.
