Milk should be stored in the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Keep it in its original container and place it on a shelf rather than the refrigerator door, where temperatures can fluctuate. Once opened, consume within 5-7 days for the best quality. Avoid leaving milk out at room temperature for extended periods to prevent bacterial growth.
