<\/figure>\n\n\n\n2. Do not eat directly out of the container<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If you are not planning on eating the whole container of yogurt, avoid eating directly out of the container. Spoon the amount of yogurt you are planning to eat or cook with in another container and reseal the leftovers and put them back in the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Write the date you opened the yogurt on the lid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If you are transferring leftover yogurt to a separate container, make sure you write the date that you opened the yogurt on the container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will help you to keep track of how long the yogurt has been in your fridge and when it should be discarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Limit the time it is out of the fridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n After buying your yogurt from the grocery store, it is important to refrigerate it as soon as possible. This will keep it up to a temperature that is too cold for excess bacterial growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we want the good bacteria to stay in our yogurt we want to avoid conditions that will encourage the growth of harmful bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transfer your yogurt home in a cool bag and pack it with frozen foods to keep it as cold as possible on the way home. Food delivery is a great option as the bags should be transported in refrigerated delivery trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not keep it out of the fridge for longer than 2 hours, less time if the weather is warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are cooking or individually serving yogurt out to your guests it is important not to leave it out of the fridge for longer than 2 hours. If you want eat the leftovers get it back in the cold as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Make sure the fridge is at the correct temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Check your fridge and make sure it is set at or below 40\u00b0 F (4\u00b0 C). This will help to limit the growth of harmful bacteria in the yogurt keeping it good until the expiration date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always give your yogurt a smell before eating it to make sure it doesn\u2019t smell off just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to tell if unopened yogurt is bad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n There are a few ways to tell if unopened yogurt has gone bad without even lifting the lid. Here are a few things to look out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. The lid is not sealed properly or is raised<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If the yogurt container feels tight and there is an air pocket that looks like it is bulging from the yogurt lid then it could have gone bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If excess bacteria are growing in the yogurt they will release gasses which will be trapped in the sealed lid. This can be a sign that the yogurt has gone bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is important to check the yogurt, open the lid, look for mold and smell it. If any of these factors are not matching what you expect from yogurt then do not eat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. The yogurt smells bad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Yogurt that has gone off will have a strong smell which can often permeate through the container. If you get a whiff of a very off sour or vinegar smell then it is time to get rid of the yogurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While natural, pot set yogurt does have a sharp smell to it the smell from bad yogurt is, well, bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Check the expiration date<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The other way to check to see if yogurt is safe to eat is to check the expiration date. Look at the outside of the box or the lid of the yogurt to find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it is passed this date then it is time to get rid of the yogurt and get some new containers. It is not worth risking your or your family\u2019s health over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
