Why does milk labeled as organic have a shelf life that is as much as a month longer than the regular milk?

MilkManInJersey asked:


Organic milk in the refrigerated case has a shelf life of over a month, while the regular, everyday milk has a shelf life of only about a week.

    Maybe
    real milk is removed form the shelf to be recycled for other producs,, cheeses,, and pet foods…
    the cost of the organic cra p is not covered and therefor dumped to take advantage of the federal tax breaks for loss.

    It is a farce to start with!!! MikeL

    Because it is “Ultra Pasteurized”, a process that is stronger than regular pasteurization.. Ultra Pasteurization kills all the biological critters, good and bad. There is nothing left to make the milk go bad. I figure that kind of milk is dead, and not good for me.

    Trust your intuition!! bluzsky
