    Good morning, so I've got 8 or 9 single serving yogurts that have all expired in the last week. Do you think it's still safe to eat?

    I intended to use them in smoothies but used that high protein Greek stuff instead.

    You could call the company that made them and ask them if it's okay to eat. I did that once with something and was told a week after the date was okay.

    for lack of a better answer, yogurt is already "bad" with a special kind of bacteria... past the date a month or so , the cultures keep growing, it might become stronger flavored, and less sweet, but otherwise the taste will nto change

    as long as properly refrigerated, should be fine

    My friend's brother would travel out of the country constantly and he would prepare his gut by eating expired yogurt because of the increased bacteria growth. If my Hispanic coworkers can leave their lunch on their desk for six hours and then bring it home and eat it the next day, I imagine I'll be fine.

    My grandma eats yogurt MONTHS past the expiration. Out of curiosity I sniffed it and took a bite once, and it tasted fine. Eat it.

    What they said.

    Unless you see mold or it has swollen or smells bad, it's fine. Dairy products are one of the easiest to tell if they've gone off.
