Why do organic products have a longer expiration date? i went grocery shopping the other day and realized that products like organic milk had a longer expiration date than regular milk. it lasted like a week or so longer! anyone know why?

I thought that organic products have a shorter expiration date, because of lack of chemicals and stuff. Maybe the truck that delivers organic food to your grocery store came by your store 2 weeks after the regular food truck.

Organic milk is generally ultra-high temperature pasteurized. Since less people buy organic milk, it tends to sit in the store longer which is why they UHT pasteurize it.
