Question # 3 - Why a yellow milk jug? Most people don’t realize that sunlight and light in the dairy case have a negative affect on the quality and taste of milk. Even short term exposure can cause the milk to develop a metallic or “cardboard-like” flavor. Exposure to light also causes a loss of vitamins in milk, with Vitamins A and B2 (riboflavin) affected the most. In 1983 Mayfield became the first dairy to package milk in the yellow jug which reflects light rays and protects the flavor and nutrients.
