Can you eat fat free Greek yoghurt 1 day past use by date?

[CityCommuter]

I'm cooking tacos for dinner this evening and I always serve Greek yoghurt rather than sour cream as it's just so fatty! Anyhow the yoghurt that's in the fridge has a use by date of yesterday 09/12... is that still ok or should I tell one of the teenagers to run to the shop and buy new?

It's fine! My personal line for yogurt is that if it's not going mouldy (usually starts around the lid), it's good to eat.

Has it been opened?

If not, I would use it. If it has been, I wouldn't.

I often eat it a few days past to be honest. As long as it smells ok. It might have separated a bit, just give it a stir.

Unopened - will be fine

Used up old yoghurt in flatbreads yesterday. It was two weeks past it’s date. Tastes fine looks fine is fine.

I'm very casual with best before and use by dates - if it's not obviously 'off' i use it. Food manufacturers have to give guidelines but food is very unlikely to become inedible 1 minute after midnight of the use by date.

Obviously you have to wary with uncooked meat but I imagine Greek yoghurt 24 hours 'out of date' is safe enough.

It's fine, I think in general things with a long shelf life have more leeway (so I'd never eat sushi or fish past sell by as it's only a few days, but I would with cured meats and yoghurts etc as they generally have a few weeks, so the percentage its outside its sell by date is lower).

Also with yoghurt it's really easy to tell by appearance and taste whether its ok

Goodness yes, one day is fine.

Yoghurt is the natural way that milk has its shelf life extended by a long time.

In today's fridges, I've found it's fine more than a month past date. Completely fine and you wouldn't know fine. (That's unopened. I use opened unless it looks/smells funny or has mould. That can be 2 weeks after sell-by.)

Use it, it's fine!

It would still be ok a week over date.
Is it growing mould?
If not, you’re all good.

Yes it has been opened for about 10 days and then got forgotten about at the back of the fridge! There's no mould and it looks ok...

I passed the month mark with yogurt! As long as it looks and smells ok it’s fine

It’s fine.

sniff it.
if it's not growing fuzzy mould of any colour and smells like yoghurt it's fine to use.

Ok thanks all, it's good then!

I ate an unopened one that was six months out of date and suffered no ill effects. I would go for it 😃

If it smells ok and looks ok I eat it. To be honest I never even look on the date and I buy in kilo tubs and am the only person who eats it so sometimes it prob is past date.

Smells ok? Tastes ok? Looks ok? It’s fine to use.

And this is why we have food waste.

If it smells ok it’s fine. People throwing things out because it’s one day out of date need to give their heads a wobble.

I scrape the mould from around the top of the pot & still eat it. It's a fermented product anyway

Unless it’s moldy, I eat it. I’ve not been I’ll yet.

Doesn’t the use-by date become a bit irrelevant once it’s opened? Personally I’d want to use up yogurt within a few days of opening but I’d be guided by my sense of smell (and sight) if I wasn’t sure.

I have a very sensitive stomach so I’m more paranoid about these things than other might be though!

I eat 'out of date' things all the time. I use my eyes, nose and brain to decide if they are ok. Still alive.

I eat yoghurt well out of date as long as there's no mould
