Storing Fresh Fluid Milk: Milk should not be left out at room temperature. Pour milk to be used into a serving container and return the original container to the refrigerator. Do not return unused milk that has been sitting out to its original container where it could contaminate the remaining milk.
Say goodbye to days of throwing out your half-eaten tub of yogurt, because this is another dairy product you can eat after its package labels it expired.. Open yogurt will spoil sooner than unopened yogurt, but sealed yogurt will usually last one to two weeks past the sell-by date.
If you respect this rule, and our guide to the 10 foods that you can safely eat, then you'll have no risk at all to your health or food safety. I ate a yogurt that was two days past its expiration date, I just know I'm going to be sick!. Nope, you're not. Yogurts can continue to be eaten for up to two weeks past their expiration date. But this rule applies only to plain or fruit yogurts, and not yogurt-based desserts, custards or any product that contains eggs in it.
