Half and half?
Why is it that when I buy half and half from the grocery store, it must be refrigerated. But many times, when you see these little, disposable single serving containers, they don't need to be?

The small (individual containers) are made from a dry milk base w/ preservatives which does not need refrigerating, half & half that is bought in the refrig. isle is real cream.

Either they DO have to be refrigerated, or they're that nondairy oil-based kind that don't need to be refrigerated. Usually restaurants keep the creamers in the fridge or they will spoil like regular half and half.

HA! I wondered the same thing! At work I always put it in fridge and someone takes it out. I like it cold anyway. Good question.

Its the ultra-pasterurized process that gives it greater shelf life.
Plus, these babies are on the shelf for a short period of time and will be changed out daily.
