Does The Intake Of Yogurt Which Has Expired Cause Vomiting Or Discomfort?

Accidently consumed about half of the brand Noosa yoghurt today which had a best by date of June 13th. It contains cultures, however I was wondering if it will cause any illness such as vomiting or major discomfort as I am leaving for a trip tomorrow! Thanks!

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you to be more careful in future. Packaged yogurt contains a host of artificial flavors and preservatives. They are chemicals. If you consume packaged yogurt after its expiry date, it is harmful because of these chemicals.

But you should be able to see the resultant ill effects in your stomach within 12 hours. You are lucky if nothing happened. Drink lots of water, chew three or four pieces of ginger and pepper etc can neutralize most of the chemicals.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
