Depends where you live and your household consumption . In Sweden milk expires usually 3-7 days after you buy it. If you are alone and don't drink that much, it does make a big difference buying the one that expires in 7 days vs the one in 3-4 days (there is no discount except if it expires 1 day after purchasing)

In the US milk is usually given a sell-by of three weeks after pasteurization, and actually lasts almost a week beyond that.

- oasisbob 8y agoYup, learned something. thanks! Ultra pasteurized simply means that the milk has been heated under pressure at a higher temperature for a shorter period of time (280° for two seconds versus 167° at 15 seconds for standard pasteurized). - http://www.darigold.com/faqs http://www.darigold.com/faqs
