No milk in shops?

[sateeb]

The only English is......

" Pasteurized Milk, Meiji Brand "




What else do you need...the name of the cow that was milked???

The other choice is the clear plastic top "skimmed Pasteurized Milk" bottle.

[dtaai-maai]

Purely in the interests of keeping this debate going and for no other reason, I think we need to decide if "pasteurised milk" is sufficient information to make a purchase decision. We know it's milk, we can assume it's pasteurised, but how, especially given the variety of cap colours, can we tell if it's full fat, half fat or fat-free?

If you wouldn't mind, sateeb, perhaps you could make another tour of the supermarkets this afternoon?

I always liked the idea...... That its name would have been Daisy......

Amazing I wake up in the morning to see that milk is still the hot topic, I was actually beginning to enjoy the banter on the subject about the weather. Anyhow I do feel that post #47 still has some benefit in the bigger scheme of things.
It also appears to me that one mans version of how much labelling needs to be in English is not the same as anothers. Fact is though I went to school and I do know that 'pasteurised - non-fat milk meiji brand' is in fact in English writing and not in Thai. I also believe, maybe worryingly, that this subject still has a few miles to go. I apologise now for my small part in that likelihood.

I think the best way for people who cannot read is to taste it.
You buy the 3 different colors in small-size bottles and the one who tastes more like water than milk will be the skimmed one
When I was a little boy and went to the nearby farm, there was no other choice than REAL MILK. Everything has become very difficult nowadays...

Mate, I've led the cows to the supermarkets but fooked if I can make them select the milk of choice


Maybe a new round for the next Quiz night or would it be too mentally taxing for some

Good idea Gerard.....Dutch Mill even made it easier for our illiterate friends. Dark Blue bottle top for plain milk and light blue for skimmed.

[Dannie Boy]

It may vary by brand, but using Meji as an example, their dark blue top is full fat 4%, the light blue is half fat 2% and the white top is zero fat 0%. Easy peasy!!

Pleng..you really are starting to annoy me now. I don't give a toss about a photo or two you have downloaded from the web.

I'm sorry you are so passionate about the topic.

Those photos were not taken from the web - they were taken with a camera from bottles I'd purchased - as I alluded to in the posts.

The only English is......

" Pasteurized Milk, Meiji Brand "


What else do you need...the name of the cow that was milked???

Whether it's FULL FAT, SEMI or SKIMMED - for THAT was the confusion in the first place. I don't think there's anybody who was unsure of if the bottle contained Milk or not, or if it was pasteurised.

The label clearly does not describe to content adequately.

Further to the above are you prepared to put money where your mouth is????????? or can we put this pointless thread to bed?

Up to you, bro.

I don't think there's anybody who was unsure of if the bottle contained Milk or not, or if it was pasteurised.

But how can you tell it's cows milk and not soy milk? Is it safe to assume that if there's a picture of a cow on the front it'll be dairy? Do they put pictures of beans on the soy milk and is there a low fat version of soy milk ?

[GLCQuantum]

Do they put pictures of beans on the soy milk?

Yes.







Sometimes it can help, if you're not sure of the content of a large bottle of milk as it's inadequately labeled, to check out the smaller carton of the same brand. It may have clearer labeling on it... may not.

My last attempt to show that sometimes what people say and what is the truth contradict each other. A Meiji bottle of 0% Non Fat Milk clearly labeled on the back.

[dtaai-maai]

I do wish people would stop spoiling this thread with facts.

[Frank Hovis]

^ Yeah stick to the bollocks and stop talking facts.

@GLCQ thanks for that.
Milk... from a bean, now that's clever. What tiny udders they must have.

Do you know what the black stuff is in the top cartons and (top and bottom) does it say SOY MILK in English (that's critical)...
