Slightly chunky yogurt: WWMD?

[wintermittent]

During fermentation, lactic acid produced will result in a decrease of pH of the yogurt. LAB [Lactic acid bacteria] can tolerate acidic conditions generated; however, growth of other bacteria may be inhibited. In addition, at low pH, lactic acid will dissociate (RCOOH --> RCOO- and H+). In general, the dissociated form of a weak organic acid acts as an antimicrobial agent.

The other factor playing a major role in the shelf stability of yogurt are the high numbers of live LAB (as many as one billion live LAB/ml may be present at the end of yogurt production!). The large numbers of viable LAB will thus act as competitive microflora against other microflora (i.e. spoilage and pathogenic bacteria) not normally present in yogurt.

Glynis Kolling would have told you to SACK UP. We need more microbiologists and less dentists around here.

Even though I probably wouldn't have eaten it myself.

I dont know what kind of yogurt you get but all my yogurt comes in a gelatin state. Like you gotta mix it up to get it smooth.

But what if it's that special "Mixed Nuts and Ebola At the Bottom" flavor from Dannon?

HA!!!

Not sure why I found this so funny, but it had me laughing for a good 10 seconds.

Had a similar experience this morning

I got home from my gf's house this morning to change and grab some food before my 8am class. Ate my bagel and needed to wash it down, so I took the milk of the fridge and took 2-3 big gulps. That is when I realized I bought the milk the week before I left for Tahoe (i left last tuesday so it has been open for almost 2 1/2 weeks) The after taste and the texture caused me to puke for about 5 min.

If the yogurt smells fine and tastes fine, eat it.

So, the moral of the story is:

Even if you're unsure about where it's been and it's age, you should eat it as long as it looks and smells ok.

I got it.

Unless, of course, it's Iocaine powder - which we all know is odorless, tasteless, and dissolves completely in water.


You may have just commited one of the classic blunders.

Have fun when your ass is glued to the shitter this evening!

If there's any question with dairy, I throw it away.

who the fuck buys yogurt in quarts anyway? Columbo raised the bar by inventing the 8oz cup for christ's sakes, whaddya expect?

Same for cottage cheese...it gets all watery and shit if you don't eat the whole tub at once.

What is yogurt other than questionable dairy to begin with...oh, wait..it's good bacteria.

So the question here is: Is this good bacteria gone bad?

Because it's better, it's cheaper, and you can make your own flavors. One of my fav's:

1 cup plain lowfat/nonfat yorgurt
Juice of one lemon
1 tbs sugar or honey

Mix together thoroughly and enjoy.

[tonghands]

My recipe for yohgurt involves throwing the yohgurt out and drinking bourbon instead. It's yummy.

Yogurt took me down once. Never again.

Fresh is the word.

Damn, only took 4 or 5 posts, and I'm already tired of you.

This is what's going on in your bowels right now.

Your yogurt must have lots of preservatives or something. Stonyfield is more than occassionally chunky. Yogurt is a dynamic food, it's always changing, so you're never going to get it in the same consistency.
