Chocolate milk should always be refrigerated promptly after opening. Store it in its original container, tightly sealed, in the coldest part of your refrigerator, typically on a shelf rather than in the door. Properly refrigerated, it can last for about 5-7 days after opening, but always check for signs of spoilage like an off smell or curdled texture before consuming. Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture and separate the milk.
