All the milk that are sold at my grocery store, no matter the size, is ultra-pasteurized. It's not unusual at all, in my experience. They sell common East Coast brands like Organic Valley.
(According to various sources I can find when googling this, there's no difference between ultra-pasteurized and UHT.)
- StudentStuff 7y agoPerhaps ultra-pasteurized is common on the East Coast? Its definitely not common for 1 gallon or half gallons in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Idaho or Michigan (in my experience).
- jandrese 7y agoUHT is only for warm shelf milk here in Virginia, and maybe for some of the really expensive organic stuff that's shipped all the way across the country.
- reportingsjr 7y agoMany organic milks are UHT, but here in the Midwest most milk is not UHT.
- viridian 7y agoBacking up the other comments, this also isn't true from anything I've seen in Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, or Pennsylvania. Seems like an issue specific to places where the demand for milk far outstrips the regional creamery supply.
- atombender 7y agoBut "not normal" is not correct, either.
