Dd and ds have just had some yogurts, the chocolate/vanilla petit filous ones, i have just realised the date on them were yesterday! should i expect them to hurl anytime soon?

Or should it be ok? as it is only a day.

Oh crap.

I'm sure they'll be fine. ONe day won't hurt.

Don't worry, Im pretty sure my DS has just eaten an off jelly.

My kids regularly eat yoghurts a week out of date. One sniff tells you if its off or not.

oh ffs, the Romanians and their ilk, aka the originators of yoghurt keep the stuff for days and days and days in a virtual petri dish and it does them good, puts hairs on their chests and all.
Get it down their necks!

They will be fine.
"Best before" and "use by" do not mean the same as "will kill you a second after midnight on."

Most food dated with large margin for error. I find yoghurts last well past their dates.

They will be fine I am sure they must give day or twos grace on those dates anyway and yoghurt lasts a lot longer than most of the sell by dates say any way.

Thank god for that, had visions of vomiting all night, thanks everyone.

I just had a whiff, and it smells ok i just thought with it being yogurt, you know.

Have eaten yoghurt that was about 9 days out of date before
it was fine

I don't normally worry about a day or 2-if it looks and smells ok it normally is ok

Supermarkets etc put a date on as they have to - it does nt mean that the food automaticly goes bad as the clock strikes midnight
