When you buy milk from your local Kroger family of stores, you can be sure you’re getting it at the peak of freshness! It all starts with our farmers, who feed their cows a nutritious diet free from artificial hormones. At the dairy, the milk is tested for freshness and quality before it’s filtered, pasteurized, chilled and filled. Milk is shipped directly from the dairy to our stores 4 to 7 times a week! This means that every time you pick up a gallon or half gallon of white or chocolate milk, it will always be fresh and delicious.
