can yogurt


Posted: Dec 5, 2014

I recently started eating a little container of Chobani flavored yogurt every day. When I opened one from the last batch I bought, it was slightly separated. I stirred it together, and I thought the first taste was a little off, but then it seemed okay. How would you know if something that is bacteria goes bad? Just kind of curious about this now. I don't particular like yogurt and just started eating it for "female" reasons, so I'm not at all familiar with it.;

When you see mold on it - thats all i have

The flavor of yogurt can get stronger as it gets older but like above, unless you see mold, I would not hesitate. It was good that you stirred the separation back in as it was likely whey and that is where most of the protein is.

Surprisingly, regular yogurt definitely is fine for a good 2 weeks or more past the expiration date. I've found this to be true, and so have my sister & cousin. Greek yogurt I think might be a little less so, but should last at least a week past dates, if not longer.
A long time ago I also read that storing the unopened container in the fridge upside-down would preserve it longer, too, but don't know where I read it or how true it is, you'd have to experiment.

How Is Greek Yogurt Different From Homemade Yogurt?Jan 23, 2013
For years I thought I didn't like yogurt, then I found this 0% fat Greek yogurt.  It is great mixed with hot foods, as a sour cream substitute, and even to eat straight.  I guess I just didn't like all the artificial flavors in other commercial yogurts. Back in the 1970s people made their own yogurt all the time.  I thought I might give it a shot, but how is Greek yogurt different from homemade yogurt? I'd appreciate any info on this.  I plan to make it a big ...
