Default Pasteurized dairy

I found in my fridge a container of whipped cream cheese with best used
by date of 8/11. Nothing at all wrong with it, no fuzz or blue or off
smell, and it tasted fine. I used it to make a spread for crackers
tonight. I always use ultra pasteurized half and half for my coffee and
it has such a far off expiration date when I buy it. What does this
method do to make dairy products last so long?

So if I don't post tomorrow I've gotten so sick I can't get out of bed,
and please call 911 for me. I've also learned that most food can be
gummed instead of chewed, so I'm enjoying my crackers.

Let it be known I'm not one of those who are weirded out by old food.
If it smells ok and nothing is growing on it, I'll try it. Though with
2 dental implants in the last month I've been on antibiotics so long my
system is screaming out. Glad I have some fresh made frozen yogurt in
my freezer!

Not even a tinge of food poisoning this morning. I sometimes wonder
about how some foods can be "good" for so long. It must be loaded with
preservatives. I'm not eating any more of that cream cheese spread. It
sure was tasty though but anything that old can't be good.
