🥣 How long does yogurt last?

Q: How long does yogurt last?

In the fridge, unopened: until the date on the label. Once opened (in the fridge): 2–3 days. In the freezer: up to 2 months. These are general guidelines and don't replace what's written on the pack: if the label says something different, follow the label. "Use by" is a real expiry date; "best before" is about quality. If in doubt, don't eat it.

Guideline times for a product stored properly, with the fridge at 4 °C or below.

Where	How long
In the fridge, unopened	until the date on the label
Once opened (in the fridge)	2–3 days
In the freezer	up to 2 months

To make it last longer

Before buying more, check whether there's already an opened one in the fridge.
Always use a clean spoon: crumbs and saliva make it go off sooner.
Frozen yogurt changes texture: best used afterwards in smoothies and baking.

When to throw it away

Mould on the surface, a swollen lid, an unusual smell or taste. A little whey (the liquid on top) is normal.

These are general guidelines and don't replace what's written on the pack: if the label says something different, follow the label. "Use by" is a real expiry date; "best before" is about quality. If in doubt, don't eat it. The difference between the two dates →
