Expired yogurt?

Question

so i bought this plain yogurt...expires aug. 12, 2008. but it looks weird....and taste sour...is that how it normally taste?

Answer 1

Have you ever tasted plain yogurt before?  It is pretty sour and doesn't taste great!  The stuff with fruit in it has quite a bit of sugar to sweeten it.  It is actually pretty hard to make yogurt go bad.  As long as there are no strange colors and it was sealed, it is probably fine.  It is made out of the fridge originally and some people leave it out of the fridge and strain it to make cheese.  Though when in doubt, it is always better to throw it out!  Good Luck!

Answer 2

no...throw it out.

Answer 3

No, it's not expired. Plain yogurt is unsweetened.. it tastes kind of like sour cream! I usually use it in smoothies or on a baked potato. It's really not for eating alone unless you like that sort of thing.

Answer 4

Well I always go by smell.  I have a really good sense of smell, so if something smells weird to me, I dont eat it.  If you already ate it, the worst that's gonna happen is you get a bad tummy ache, or possibly throw up, but sense the due date is like in August, you'll probably get a small stomach ache.  Take some Tums ;)

Tum TumTum Tum Tums!!! LOL

Answer 5

If you have natural yoghurt it is supposed to be tart eg acidy to the taste not sweet. If you have fruit yoghurt it is supposed to be sweet.

Your yoghurt hasn't passed it's used by so it may be that you have bought some natural yoghurt when you intended to buy a sweet yoghurt. Both have acidophiles in them. If your yoghurt is starting to get a watery substance accumulating on the top like whey then it is getting old. I would be in doubt.

If you are uncertain check with the manufacturer through their  product information line call number. They should provide one. If this is not available and you can't get a satisfactory answer take the yoghurt back and ask for a refund or replacement. If the replacement  tub of yoghurt tastes the same as the first one then this product is most likely not for you.

I hope that this helps.
