What is National Milk Day?
National Milk Day on January 11 marks the date in 1878 when milk was first delivered to customers in sterilised glass bottles in the United States, a big step for hygiene at a time when milk sold from open cans often spread disease. Pasteurisation and refrigeration later made milk much safer, and for decades the milkman's doorstep delivery was part of daily life. The day celebrates dairy farmers and the simple glass of milk, and is a good moment to learn where the milk in your fridge comes from.
