Has anyone noticed that these last couple of weeks Anchor products taste different/off?? I have brought some milk, cheese and also some butter all from different shops and I am sure it tastes funny.
Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?? ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |

Can't say I have noticed here - maybe you got a bad batch in your neck of the woods. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I assume that it would just be a changing of the season, grass is growing a lot faster so the cows eat more and their milk is a bit fuller. I complain to hubby that the milk tastes crap at certain times of the year (mainly spring and autumn) and he can't taste it (bloody farm raised child). ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

| I try and avoid Anchor milk because it can taste 'off'. Not sure why its just Anchor milk because surely milk is milk but I have two coffees a day and I get really annoyed when it doesn't taste right because of the flavour of milk (mind you, I always thought it was just me) |

You're right about certain times of year changing how / what cows eat, not too sure myself whether or not that really changes the taste of the milk... that's one thing I never came across in my time with Fonterra ! I have noticed though that they're actually starting to put the Fonterra logo on some of their Anchor products including milk, never used to be there before... ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

I like using skim or extra skim milk because it tastes less like it is "off" than the full or regular stuff does. I like my coffees tasting the same as well linda! ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

I'm usually a skim girl too, and find it really hard to drink "standard" milk - there is definitely a taste difference there ! ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

FOr that sort of milk, you should try sunlatte - I hate fatty tasting milk, DH hates green/yellow top. This Sun latte has the flavour with the less fat and extra calcium - great when you are preggy :) -------------

When I lived in Gisborne we noticed about once a month the milk tasted disgusting,like a chemical.We put it down to maybe they had cleaned the vats? we always took it back to the dairy and complained
