Lakeland Semi Skimmed Milk Jiggers, Portion Pots (120)

Date Received: 8th December 2025 Date of Expiry on the products: 7th June 2026 Length of Expiration - 6 months To me, that is sufficient length of duration and very happy with the order received and the quality of the products received. The milk content I received is perfectly fine, there were also no foul taste, it was still fresh. Even long expirations, you still need to taste test it and make sure, especially if you are either consuming it or offering milk to someone's cup of tea/coffee. The size of the product received was exactly as advertised, so thank you. I also had to count and make sure the package is not tampered, etc. Everything was perfectly fine. I uploaded photos to help people figure out to themselves if this a product is for them or not. I received all 50 units, so that is good to know. It's expensive, and knowing that I received the correct amount of quantity as ordered is more appreciative, so thank you. I also read other people's reviews, my product received was perfectly fine and have no issues with it. When people were referring to the tear, actually, it is the design of the product, it's not really teared, it's there to help people with lack of strength to easily tear open, when actually the entire satchets are all fully sealed. So if you see a "Tear" or "Tear Here", you will see a zig zag tear to help people with weak hands/muscles to find wear to easily tear the product. It's intuitive, and it's common to see with these milk satchets. I had these when I stayed at business conferences, hotels where they offered the pot alternatives. I thought it was a smart way to store and drink tea with the convienence of milk in travelability. In terms of the taste, I do not see any difference to how it is offered in hotel accomodations. So if your hotel rooms offer daily refreshments of tea and biscuits, I would say the tea is identical to that. However, if you are tea lover like I am, and prefer the milk you buy at a store, then yeah, it's completely different milk but isn't significant to semi-skimmed milk. I much prefer the blue version, full skimmed and full fat milk, but doesn't matter as much. It does the job. If you do receive it, I recommend storing it in cool and dry temperature. It's fine to leave it at room temperature, but if you're an overthinker, you can store it in the fridge if you really want to keep its longevity? Though I bought enough to last week me for a few weeks, so thankful for the seller providing 6 months. Seeing buyers receiving shorter duration but never quantified the duration made me think, it was actually 1 month expiration, which 1 month isn't a long time. So knowing that beforehand would intend influence and help buyers make their purchase decision. Not an issue, but it was interesting to receive it in an transparent bag that with wrapped up like you ordered a grocery. Fortunately, no tamper from any external or handling parties, so that's fine. See photos if it helps see what my experience was. I used 2 satchets for my tea, so it's a strong tea flavor which I like. If you like your tea milky, then add more than 2 satches for the desired tea color and flavor. Thanks. Today is Day 2 of receiving the product and I have used 5 satchets out of 50 and no issues. If I do encounter any issues with the remaining 45 satchets, I will update my review accordingly to reflect it appropriately. In the meantime, I'm very happy, so thank you.

Perfect quality and useful

Look, it’s just long life milk, and it doesn’t taste amazing when drinking it on its own, but it certainly does not taste bad either. Any milk items at small amounts enhances a coffee rather well without me having to get out of bed and go downstairs to the fridge, so it’s great for people with chronic fatigue or other such issues. Tastes much better than any powdered milk out there too, so never get those. I got used to using 2 sticks per coffee to balance between taste and hotness of drink. None of my sticks were “bad” or ruined any of my coffees’ but to be fair I threw them rest out come the use by date which was only 4 months. I still feel I got good value from this package as it was selling for £5.55 in late 2020. I paid less for 240 of these little sticks then some sellers selling just 100 of these sticks, so will keep buying them unless the cost per items goes up too much, then will search out another brand. —- Edit: Now in early 2021 it seems these have gone up to at least £9.50 (depending on seller). Not worth it at this price as other mini milk items offer better value so star rating is based on the cost of £5.50. To be fair, I have only used around 100 during the 4 months before the sell by date, so I will search for best prices for 100 next time.

Great when going away. You need to be aware of the use by date.

A must have. These milks make so much sense we use them for camping and just a few in the bag for days out. You never seem to get milky enough cuppas when your grabbing on the go so these solve this issue my kids take them to school aswell. Very handy to have and good value

These are fantastic and a definite 5-star product for office use. I love the long shelf life, which means I don't have to worry about running out of fresh milk or wasting a large carton. They store at room temperature and each pot is the perfect portion for a single cup of tea. The milk itself tastes great in hot drinks you can tell it's UHT. The packaging is easy to open. Highly recommended for the sheer ease and reliability!

I bought 100 of these but very disappointed as they have a very short expiry date. They actually have an earlier expiry date than the previous batch I bought. A lot will end up being thrown away!! Not good value at all.

Very pleased with this product. Arrived very quickly and use by date is 5 months time.
