Why does NYC have a different expiration date than the rest of the state for dairy foods sold in stores?

Answer 1

Because it takes more time on average to unload the dairy product from the trucks and get it into the grocery refrigerator. In suburban areas, the truck just pulls right up to the back of the store, but in NYC the truck has to be double-parked, taken out on a dolly, unloaded by the driver, paid for by the store guy, then loaded into the fridge that's usually all the way in the back. This exposes the dairy to more warm air, where bacteria multiply faster so the milk/dairy will spoil a week earlier or so.
