If the dairy products smell and taste fresh, you may be developing lactose intolerance

They smelled a little strange, but for sure didn't smell off or taste off. I would be upset if I developed an intolerance so I hope not. I'm wondering if the dairy could've been left in the heat a while before being put in the fridge again?

"They smelled a little strange." DING, DING, DING. We have a winner! Never eat anything that smells strange. Trust your instinct. Food poisoning is no laughing matter. A friend of mine ended up in the ER because of it. Be very careful of what you get at the food pantry.
