get the HT milk - Australian, New Zealand, and China brands, no refrigeration needed during transport or at the store.

This has been happening to us for several months! My kids won't touch it unless we pour it through a small strainer first, because they have both had the wonderful experience of gagging on the lumps! This IS the HT milk--has happened with Paul's, Nestle and President. We always buy skimmed, and have been buying all three brands for almost 5 years and never had a problem until recently. I would say it is the rule, rather than the exception--almost every carton has these gross, flat, sludgy lumps at the bottom. Another thing you can do is poke little holes in the foil top to make a built-in strainer, but it dribbles even worse than it normally does. Anyone out there in the milk industry???
