Every month, it's the same story, at the bottom of the fridge, there are yogurts forgotten by children, whose use-by date (DLC) has passed. Whether it is only a few days or several weeks, can we still eat expired yoghurts? ? We often ask ourselves the question, many people answer us "yes" and yet, we have a hard time passing the course. Yet, is yogurt really a food that goes bad? We take stock.
This question, many of us ask ourselves. To answer this, a survey published in 2017 in the magazine 60 Millions de consommateurs , reveals that yoghurts can be consumed up to 3 weeks after the expiry date , inscribed on the operculum. Indeed, the magazine explains that to reach this conclusion, they analyzed the use-by date , DLC + 1 week, DLC + 2 weeks and DLC + 3 weeks. The conclusion:after three weeks, the yoghurts were still of very good quality and posed no health risks.
Therefore, if you keep your yoghurts between 0 and 6°C, you do not need to throw them away once the date has passed. However, it is possible that they become acidic, if this taste bothers you, you can use them in different ways.
