Greek Yogurt date is 10/15/2010 - can I still eat?

I bought 3 greek yogurt packages. The date on all of them (it doesn't say whether it's sell buy or eat buy) is 10/15/2010. Would they still be edible?
 
Hasn't yogurt already gone bad? I mean, that's how they make it. Unless it has little dark fuzzy spots on it I'd say it's good to go.
 
Yep, absolutely totally and completely. Yogurt is a product of fermentation and, as long as it's properly refrigerated, takes FOREVER to go bad. That's especially true of Greek Yogurt, where the fermentation cultures are still active.

look, if the yogurt is kept at 4C, it's fine for a long long time. if it's in your purse all day in summer, it will go bad in 6 hours.

for fucks sake--don't you know that dates don't mean anything, in general?

do you even care to understand the things that you intend to put in your mouth?

D: what the fuck is that shit?


i have a big container of plain yogurt in the fridge 1 month+ past it's exp date. i use a little at a time for dips, etc.
 
almost all food like that that has a date, the date is the sell by date and not and experation date. egg, milk and such can be eaten well after the sell by date. I've eaten eggs that were more than 2 weeks or more past the date on the package and I ain't dead yet.

This. I have eaten yogurt that is several weeks or more past the expiration. No problem!

Well, especially with eggs, they will tell you when they're bad. If you crack it open and the egg doesn't smell bad, its fine.
