It makes logical sense but in practicality it is not an accurate observation. 
When the food used by the bacteria is used up the growth process stops. 
Anyway, my experience has been that an unopened container of sour cream can 
be kept well past the expiration date. A quick phone call to the county 
agricultural office confirmed that expiration dates are only for the last 
date of sale and have no bearing on subsequent shelf life which varies by 
product.
