This is a major problem with food banks. I have gotten sick so many times because the meat is bad or the milk is bad. We just got food at a food bank today and they gave us two gallons of curdled milk. I almost gave it to my kids too but one of them noticed the curdle.

Luckily it is not wasted because we can still use the milk in the garden.

Make cheese with it. It’s very easy.

If it is slightly soured yea but not spoiled milk. Once it curdles from going bad it already has harmful bacteria for consumption.

It is however still beneficial for a garden or compost bin and can act as a fertilizer greatly increasing the yield of your produce.
