blue tinged milk !?

I left the milk I pumped yesterday in my mini work fridge overnight. This morning it was blue tinged all three bottles from all three pumping sessions. Is it bad?
Edit: I saw someone else asked about blue milk but mine was not blue yesterday when I pumped it, it turned blue overnight. I'm wondering if mini fridge is not cold enough?

    It could be more like a hindmilk/foremilk imbalance. Usually, the first milk that is expressed is a bit more watery until you get to the creamier milk. Sometimes it can take on a blueish tint. I would do the smell/taste test just to make sure that it is still good.

    A lot of times I have milk go very very blue. It is the the fore milk I think, and yes when I pour it into the bottle and it is all homogenized it isn't blue. The blue becomes more apparent as it sits in the cold fridge and further separates

    My milk is normal looking when fresh pumped, but after a few hours or overnight in the fridge, all the cream has risen to the top, and the bottom half of the bottle is tinged blue.  This seems normal, I just swirl the bottle to mix the cream back in (I usually have to run the bottle under water cuz the cream gets stuck to the sides)
