How long does yoghurt last in the fridge?

Yoghurt

As bought, in the fridge10 days
Once opened5 days

Opening never extends a date: if the packet date comes sooner, go by that. Estimates for quality, not a safety ruling. What the dates mean

Yoghurt keeps for 10 days in the fridge, counted from when you buy it. That's SnapLarder's estimate for yoghurt in general. If the packet has a date, go by the packet: it's specific to that product.

How long does yoghurt last once opened?

5 days. Opening never extends a date: if the date on the packet comes sooner, go by that.

Can you eat yoghurt after the use-by date?

No. A use-by date is about safety: don’t eat it after it, even if it looks and smells fine. If the packet says best before instead, that’s about quality: check it, and it’s often fine for a while after. Use by vs best before

Can you freeze yoghurt?

Not really. Yoghurt doesn't freeze well: the texture changes when it thaws.
