I wish I could help, but I find that with coffee. I don't drink it so a packet or jar should last ages if it didn't go rock hard first. Hopefully someone can help us.

Found from Milo NZ When moisture gets into your tin of MILO the powder starts to absorb the moisture and stick together and over time can form a solid clump. Humid or rainy weather can also have an effect as well. To avoid this always make sure your lid is properly sealed, your MILO is stored in a cool dry place and used within 8 weeks of opening. Remember to ensure you've finish scooping your MILO into your cup before you start stirring as a damp spoon can also cause clumping. We hope these tips will help! Someone also said put a piece of bread in the tin, this zaps up any moisture.

If you save those little absorbant crystals pads that come in pill bottles and put them in your Milo they will keep it dry. Also I have found it keeps better if left in the Milo tin or if just buying packets put the whole packet into an airtight container, DONT tip it out into another container.

I don’t buy Milo now since they changed the recipe to the Australian one. The new taste is yuk! Not made in NZ anymore. Just saying!

Put rice in a breathable (cotton) bag and place in the top of the jar/container.

I keep my milo in a container in the fridge and it doesn't go hard. I used to buy Bourne Vita which i prefer but you can't buy it now.

Where do you get your Bournvita from? I haven't seen it at the SM for a long time, so thought it was no longer available. I prefer that to Milo.

Buy a different mix, Milo is 50% sugar, that's actually probably why

Iput 1/4 of a crust in my brown sugar- keeps it loose. That might work for the Milo too.
