I think this, too--especially slightly specialty brands (organic or lactose free, etc.) tend to have premium packaging and also be ultra pasteurized (the longer shelf life prevents waste if it doesn't sell as quickly). Note that it's different from UHT, which is shelf-stable at room temperature when unopened (to the date on the package) but often has a different taste... ultra pasteurized tastes like normal pasteurized and still has to be refrigerated but lasts slightly longer. There are, of course, regulations... accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/…

@user3067860 I often buy a brand that is labelled ultra-pasteurized and not only are the sell-by dates week out, they are good for weeks after being opened. Actually the half-and-half in my coffee right now was purchased more than a month ago and is perfectly good.

@user3067860 but in the US, UHT is often sold chilled even though that's not necessary, so it's easily confused
