Expired milk can turn into sour or curdled milk due to the growth of bacteria. These bacteria produce lactic acid, which sours the milk and causes it to thicken. While not suitable for direct consumption, it can sometimes be used in recipes that call for sour milk, such as pancakes or certain baked goods.
