The temp is 425 for a shiny metal pan and 400 for a dark non-stick pan not 475

I found these comments while trying to do some research on the milk I just got at BJ’s last week. Apparently they made a bad batch in the last few weeks! Both half gallons I had tasted like cardboard. It was awful. Makes me not want to by Earth’s Pride dairy anymore, although this was the first time I had tried it. It was such a strong taste, I don’t know how it got onto the shelves. I read somewhere that some companies sometimes ultrapasteurize milk and then pour it HOT into the carton. Not sure if it’s true, but that could explain it! I think I’ll go back to my local farm for milkk. I’m in the southeastern PA area, by the way.

OMG! The same thing just happened to use too with the Earth’s Pride Organic 2% milk. I poured myself a glass, and ran to the sink and spit it out. I swallowed some by accident and am worried. It had a poison-like flavor to it that reeked of chemicals. I told my husband what happened and he told me this morning he poured some in his cereal and it tasted funny. He thought there was something wrong with the Kashi Brand cereal and not the milk, because it is 12/27/2011 today and the milk had an expiration date of 1/21/2012. We are in the Long Island, NY area and purchased it at the Levittown B.J.’s. This is very upsetting!

I have just had the same problem with the organic milk! It has some strong chemical taste, burns my lips and mouth. I gave my grand daughter a bottle in the middle of the night, she was fussy and didn’t want it? So we gave her water instead, without knowing about the milk. It wasn’t until the morning that we realized it was bad! Please let me know any results you may get back from the milk. I called the company and left a message. Hope everyone is ok from this.

I just got sick from Earth’s Pride organic milk.
I had a bowl of cereal and didn’t notice a taste; I started feeling bad and didn’t know why. I later went to have a plain glass of milk and took two gulps and I then tasted the chemical taste in the milk. It was not a sour taste, definitely a chemical taste.
I then realised that this was the reason why I got sick. I am thinking of getting it tested and see exactly what is in there, it has me worried now. I have never had this happen to me.
I will now taste any liquids before I mix them with something, as I would have tasted the chemical taste had I took a sip of the milk first. This can’t be the only 1/2 galon that this has happened to and the other 1/2 galon that it was wrapped with tasted fine.

We have been buying five at a time of the (5 pd bag) of organic carrots at BJ’S and the carrots were fair, our last purchase of five were not good at all. They were of all sizes and had splits or openings in them where we had to cut out the bad part, lot of waste. We juice all of the carrots and the juice was like rancid, poor quality taste. I have taken this time to be constructive with my comments and don’t intend to bring undue alarm to EP, however, we ask that EP check their quality. I can asure that I will not buy any more until I see an improvment. Thanks, Bill Barrow

I just got a bag of EP Organic baby-cut carrots and they taste like chemicals or soap or something Anybody know if they use produce detergent? Kinda screws over the whole organic idea…

Hi Marianne, I loved reading your beautiful comment. It sounds as if you grew up poor in the financial sense but wealthy with everything else. My father side was extremely poor but he always said the food was real, scratch, homemade and people today with all their money don’t have any idea of what they’re missing. Thanks again and I would love to hear from you as to a few of your favorite recipes from this wonderful book. We’ll give them a try and try not to mess them up too badly. Best, Leo

Love the earth pride organic coffee. Why can’t we get it? When it is there I have to buy six bags at a time . Then they don’t have it. Why.
