    It lasts about 2 to 3 weeks. You need to check for funky or weird tastes. If it smells sour, then it probably expired. You also need to make sure that it stays refrigerated.

      Warnings

      • The yogurt from cartons will last about a week unrefrigerated then will have a different smell as it starts to go funky. The long version batch is more sensitive. If mould forms, give it to the compost pile.
