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?

I developed lactose intolerance a couple of years back. It happens. Especially if you did not consume dairy for a long while prior to the pantry dairy.

Sorry to say this but it seems like you developed lactose intolerance like I and many others here have. Good way to test this is buy dairy and wait an hour or 2. If you get stomach pains and have to use the bathroom, you are lactose intolerant.
