Is it possible to get heavy cream in a container of 2%fat milk?

Opened a container today, and it poured really slow. Didn't smell bad or taste sour.





Is it possible somebody screwed up in the processing?

It sounds like it was spoiled. Even if the date said oterwise.Is it possible to get heavy cream in a container of 2%fat milk?
It's possible.





Sour milk generally isn't a thick liquid - it's curds (solid chunks) and whey (really watery stuff).





Commercial dairies skim the cream off everything, then add cream to the skimmed milk to produce 2% milk and whole milk. The stuff is homogenized, though, so that doesn't seem too likely.





Someone might have forgotten to put the correct boxes on the packaging machinery when they switched from producing 2% to producing cream, though. I imagine they'd catch the problem before too many were filled, but some might slip through the system.
Chances are slim to none!
Did you check the expiration date? Even if it doesn't smell bad or sour, it may be heading in that direction. If you left it out, it's most likely curdled so I wouldn't drink it. It doesn't take long, especially on a warm day.
They could have mixed it up. I have never had that happen.
Wow, cream at a bargain price... May as well indulge a bit then.
I don't think so. The factories are pretty organized
not likely
