A questionable yoghurt...

[martiniwini]

I've found a muller corner on the fridge with a date of 25th July. Would you eat it? I've eaten plenty of questionable food in the past and seem to have a particularly strong stomach...

No, it might be fine, but no.

Yeah I would

It was nice, one of those with the little chocolate biscuits on the side

Yup. Well, I'd open it, smell it, taste a bit, and if all was well I'd hoover it down. As long as it is still sealed and has been kept refridgerated it should be fine.
FWIW, on 9 April this year I ate a yoghurt with a use by date of 1 November 2016. It was lovely and I'm still here!

No way!

Definitely not

18 days..No I couldn't

Harriet you legend! My Grandad ignored dates on yoghurt and cheese, on the understanding that they were 'already off'. I like to think I owe some of my excellent immune system and good gut bacteria to him.

Of course. Unless the top was bulging.

I totally would. Best before and use by dates are set more by lawyer than food chemist

I agree Hearts and I usually go by sense of sight and smell rather than a date.

If a yoghurt is off the top bulges so far it's not it's fine to eat

This one was bulging.... I had to pop the top! It almost looked alive

Eeeew. I take it you didn't eat it then?

Of course I did! It wasn't mouldy...

Yoghurt keeps for weeks past it's official use-by date, and live yogurts even longer if they're sealed and in a fridge. They just get more yoghurty.
Sell-by dates on cheese are just a good opportunity to get the nice stuff at half price.

I wouldn't have eaten it, but that's just me! I'm really fussy with dates. If it's past it's use by or even best before then it puts me off.

Do you not have a local shop where you could have just got some more?? Hahaha

You'll have to let us know if you survive

At 10pm when my kids are in bed? Besides I'd never pay local shop prices for a mullet corner!
People that buy into the whole dates thing and follow them so scrupulously make me laugh, your senses are a much better indication of whether food is edible or not. Dates are way over cautious. Especially on things like yoghurt.

Oh I survived psycho .... it'll take more than a talking yoghurt to kill me off.
