True, but stores generally don't get any natural light in their fridge sections.

Over here (NL), most milk is only on shelves for a day, they cart in new batches daily. We err, go through a lot of milk.

Some store fluorescent bulbs produce enough UV, 24/7, to make printed boxes fade away, and turn plastics brittle and yellow. It's not as strong as full sunlight, but it's still there nonetheless.

Even visible wavelengths, especially from fluorescent/LED lighting, can skunk beer. So it's not impossible that this could happen to milk, for whatever that's worth.

Milk is a sacred part of Dutch diet to the point that vegans had to find ways to create plant based milk.
