bookluvingbabe Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Food safety question: How long can a container of plain whole milk yogurt be left on the counter and still be used? Personally, it grossed me out after three hours and I will probably toss it, especially since it is BLBaby's yogurt. But I was wondering what the consensus was. Thanks!!!

Probably a while given that it's probably pretty acidic and makes it more challenging for bacteria to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the bacteria used in yogurt is cultured, and therefore not dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waitman Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I routinely bring yougurt to work and let it sit for hours and hours on my desk, then eat it with no ill effects. I'd wager it would last at least a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
