how out of date would you eat plain yoghurt?

[Crumpetdisappointment]

current yoghurt greek style creamy

I've eaten 3 weeks out of date, that was still sealed. Sniff it and check for mould.

To be honest, if it looked and smelled okay I'd eat it.

As long as it tastes ok/wasn't mouldy. It lasts weeks after the use by date in my experience

Months if it's been kept unopened in the fridge. It goes a bit sour (but is still perfectly edible), will be visibly off if it can't be eaten.

it is nearly always opened

I’d take a look/sniff and a tiny taste before wolfing it down but I generally ignore dates in most things.

Yogurt is fine for weeks.

I go by the 'do I fancy eating that' test. If it smells OK and looks OK it is ok , but if I look at it and think I don't fancy it (as in I'm unsure it's ok) , I don't eat it. Different people's fridges keep food differently.

Opened - only a couple of days unless it smells obviously funny.

Unopened - a week to two maybe.

Exactly that.

Weeks if it looks fine…unopened.

opened…again it seems to still be fine for a couple of weeks.

I used some Greek yoghurt yesterday that had a use by date of 2nd May. Totally fine

Quite a long time, even opened tbh. Once you take the lid off you don't know what the bbd was anyway. The only time I've ever thrown yoghurt out was when it was mouldy (and that was an unopened tub, it must have had something wrong with the seal).

Oh and it had been opened

It's a good thing it wasn't gooseberry and cinnamon yoghourt

I don't mess about with dairy products to be honest once they go out of date.

It’s ridiculous they even put dates on things, it’s all a scam to create waste and make you buy more. I never check dates, just use your nose and eyes

If it’s live yoghurt then taste and see.

I don't mess about with them either. I just eat them (if they haven't gone off).

With milk, cheese, cream and yogurt it's very easy to tell if they're no good, so if they look/smell/taste edible, then I eat them.
I think the only time I've checked the Use By date on yogurt is when I need to know which tub to open next (I buy the big tubs from Lidl and sometimes stock up as they don't always have them when I go).

Until it has mould on it. Especially if it hasn't been opened it should last for weeks still.

Unless it is mouldy I eat yoghurt out of date, often by weeks.

If you don’t use it up quickly, put clingfilm directly onto the surface of the yogurt so there’s no air contact. That’ll increase the shelf life. But make sure you don’t leave loads on the inside of the carton above the yogurt because that will go mouldy

I eat it unless it's mouldy

For me it depends when it was opened. If its out of date but opened 2 days ago I would prob eat (assuming looks and smells ok)
If opened 2 weeks ago I'd be more wary.

But use by dates aren't fail safe anyway. I've had (unopened) milk that's gone off before it's use by date so using smell/look is often a better gauge!!

It depends whether it has added carbs, which makes it mould easily, I have found.
