Well there are several cheeses that will do just fine in a cool, dark, pantry. But previously I did post a link to a child's yogurt product that didn't require refrigeration. I see them a lot, Costco has some in bulk.

I don't know the details of how long it lasts in what temperatures, but "sterilized" (not just Pasteurized) shelf-stable (no refrigeration needed) milk has long been sold in parts of Europe. It's never refrigerated in transit or on grocery store shelves.
Also, many Europeans don't refrigerate items like cheese and butter to the extent that Americans do. [Think about the cheese cart in European fine dining restraurants and the way that cheese is served at room temperature.]

You can buy non-refrigerated milk in the US also. My grandchildren take it to school every day in their lunchboxes.

I like the non-refrigerated milk here in the US and keep it on hand for emergency situations when the power might go out and milk is required.
I know the non-refrigerated chocolate milk has been available in this part of the southeastern US for at least 20 years. It's still easier to find that one here than the plain milk. But I would guess that many US residents are unfamiliar with milk or yogurt that does not require refrigeration.
Back to the OP's original issue - I did not know that you couldn't take outside food into the lounge. Then again, the only thing I've ever visibly carried in there was a water bottle on the side of a backpack. This was a learning experience for me.

I can think of a number of reasonable reasons for the restriction.
Just as I can think of a number of reasonable reasons for why reasonable exceptions should be made.
I would have put everything into my carry-on and then requested a Redcoat.

The no food into the lounges topic has been discussed ad nauseum here:

As many times as I've been to Germany, it has alwayz amazed me that they have milk on the "regular" shelves in the normal aisles in the supermarkt. I have also seen stacks of cartons of eggs on end caps.
They also have milk in the coolers, so, I always wonder why someone would decide to buy one over the other.

I've been told that sterilized versus Pasteurized milk tastes different.
Also, German (and European in general) refrigerators even in large houses are much smaller than the ones that are typical in the USA, so many people don't have space to refrigerate milk at home.
Finally, for small children, there's probably a belief that the sterilized kind may be safer. This might or might not be true.

It's the same as the USA. Ultra-pasteurized mile doesn't need refrigeration, and it is stocked on a normal shelf (generally with the almond/soy/coconut milk). It isn't as popular in the USA, but it is there.

This was exactly my point, that, in Germany, I'll see dozens of cases of non-refrigerated milk on display, whereas here, it's practically unheard of. It's a hugely popular item there (as in my pic, although some of that looks like OJ).

I've always been amazed by the number of people who seem to deal with these mysterious, incessant crying babies who ruin their lounge experience. I've been doing this for almost 20 years and have yet to come across a single instance of a child crying for more than a minute before their parents removed them. I'm only a little less amazed that so many travelers in lounges feel a need to be shouting their confidential business dealings and personal health issues into their cell phones.
