Gross question.

in Food and Nutrition
I just made a whole 3 cups worth of overnight oats, only to find out the yogurt I used was moldy and expired last month. I really dont want to waste food and that was my breakfast for a couple days. If I microwave it will it be safe to eat? I know, I've googled it but there's not really any clear answers. Your input?

    It's made from soy, not dairy if that helps?

    No. It doesn't. Why would you think it does?

    Heating it up in the microwave will make it even worse! Throw it out, and next time check the use by date :wink:

    No one likes to waste food. But it's never wise to chance making yourself sick. I'm sorry...I would toss it and start fresh.

    If it was just expired it would be one thing (something about our fidge keeps meat and dairy unspoiled well past the BB date) but if you can see, taste or smell spoiling, chuck it.

    Throw away, your precious body will thank you. No need to risk getting sick from.

    I think you already know the answer since you titled this "gross question."

    Would you rather waste some food or end up with food poisoning? The choice seems pretty clear to me. :) Go buy some new yogurt and oats and start over!

    Enjoy all foods before expiration date. B)

    Expired = Throw away for own and family / friends health.

    Microwaving it will kill some of the microbes but won't do anything to get rid of the toxic (to you) materials they made so you'll almost definitely get sick

    You didn't notice the mold when making the oats?? But no - I don't think you can cook out mold. I wouldn't risk it.

    No, that won't fix it. Throw it away. Molded food is no longer food.

    This reminds me of a time I was looking forward to eating a pudding dessert cup.

    Dessert cup had a tiny puncture hole in the lid and must have had so for a while.

    Dessert had a lovely thick patch of mould growing under the lid.

    Needless to say, dessert cup went in the trash after I got a whiff of mould. :no_mouth:

    I wouldn't risk it, but then I don't make breakfast for three days at a time either.

    Moldy is a bit worse than simply expired. Its the reason why some types of products have expiry dates of days or weeks from manufacture, while others are marked with 2 years or more from the date they were made.
