How long does Frozen Yogurt last?
The shelf life of frozen yogurt can vary based on storage conditions and whether it’s store-bought or homemade:
- Store-Bought Frozen Yogurt: Frozen yogurt purchased from a store typically has a ”best by” or expiration date on the packaging. It’s best to consume it before this date for optimal taste and quality. If unopened and properly stored in the freezer, it can often last for a few months beyond the date, but the texture might change over time.
- Homemade Frozen Yogurt: Homemade frozen yogurt made with fresh ingredients might not have preservatives like store-bought ones. It’s best consumed within a week to maintain its flavor and texture. Storing it in an airtight container in the freezer helps preserve it longer.
Always check for any signs of freezer burn, changes in texture, or an off odor before consuming frozen yogurt stored for an extended period. If it appears or smells off, it’s safer to discard it to avoid the risk of foodborne illness.
