Yoghurt Shelf Life

Yoghurt Shelf Life
Not all yoghurts require refrigeration! However, these are ones that have numerous additives, and preservatives which makes them shelf stable at ambient and extends the shelf life significantly, however they are not particularly nutritious and are likely to contain high amounts of sugars. The healthier options are those that require refrigeration and have a short shelf life. Then, there are some that confuse the consumer, as they have a fairly long shelf life, yet are not shelf stable so require refrigeration to prevent spoilage bacteria growing. These yoghurts clearly state the storage temperature on the packing and are items where it is extremely important to have done your due diligence on your supplier, as often, they are brought in and stored at ambient and only chilled prior to sale! As with all chilled items, label reading is essential to maximise quality.
