Milk should be kept clean covered and out of the sunlight to preserve
its riboflavin and flavor.
Milk should be stored promptly in the refrigerator or consumed quickly. After a milk container is opened, it should be
covered before storage. Milk removed from the original
container should not be returned to it.
