Answers:
All packaged foods with a shelf life of less than two years must have a use-by or 'best before' date stamped on the box, wrapper or bottle!. This date gives you an idea of how long the food will last before it loses quality!. A product will remain fresh and of good quality right up to the 'best before' date (and sometimes beyond) if it is properly stored, both at home and at the supermarket!.

Foods with a shelf life of less than two years must have a 'best before' date!. It may still be safe to eat those foods after the 'best before' date, but they may have lost quality and some nutritional value!. Foods that should not be consumed after a certain date for health and safety reasons!.



but i would imagion that it is ok to eat still!. just don't go too much further!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

smell is the number one thing that I look for when I'm checking food over the experation date!.!.!. I can't really explain the smell for expired yogurt but i've had it before!. I know that it's kind of distinct and it's not very hard to notice!. I'd look for white stuff in it!.!.!. Mold isn't very good to eat!.!.!. It will make you as sick as Crap!.!.!. (for loss of a better word!.!.!.) Www@FoodAQ@Com

It might be a little funky!. Smell-check (hahaha) it first, and then look for any unusual fuzzies or spots in the yogurt!. It generally should be fine, but it never, ever hurts to check!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

nah!. its only by 2 days, i don't think that's too much of an expiration date!. but with me, i wont eat anything past 3 days!.

if it looks perfectly normal, and smells perfectly normal, then why not!?

Just check for fuzzies, or a funky smell!. It might be a little thicker if it has active cultures, but no harm from that!.
So if it smells okay and isn't fuzzy, you'll be fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, they have quite a bit of leeway on the expiration dates!. It's only been 2 days, so you'll be fine!. I'd say, anything after a week, you should toss it!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

You do know yogurt is spoiled milk>>!?!?
some clear liquid may rise to the top (whey) you can dump it or mix it back inWww@FoodAQ@Com

If it were in my frig, I would eat it!. If you're not certain, use in in cooking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's fine, but smell it first!. Milk products are more finicky than other foods!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
