Do you know that the date on the packaging of yogurt is a tremendous marketing deception. Says the doctor and TV presenter Sergey Malozemov in his official TG channel (18+).
According to the expert, most yogurts remain safe up to three weeks after the specified date. It's all about the features of lactic acid bacteria. They create such an acidic environment that pathogenic microbes simply cannot breed in it.
Researchers from Harvard University found that in a properly stored yogurt, after the expiration of the expiration date, the number of useful lactobacilli is even increasing.
The question remains open why manufacturers raise such short terms. The answer is simple. This is the term of the best taste, not security. Yogurt is gradually becoming sour, but not more dangerous.
But the appearance of mold, gas bubbles, an unnatural smell or separation into layers indicate that yogurt has really deteriorated.
This information is not a replacement for a doctor’s consultation. The body's reaction to changes in nutrition can depend on individual physiological characteristics, genetic predisposition and health status. Before starting changes in the diet, it is recommended to consult a dietitian or attending physician to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the selected measures.
