I left my yogurt in my desk at the office last night and wondered if it might be spoiled this morning when I got to work. I popped it open and it smelled fine. I tasted it and it tasted fine too so I ate it a few minutes ago and nothing happened. So I guess the answer is that yogurt can withstand one night out of the fridge and not kill y

I would definitely not eat it if there is any mold present, as you cannot see the microscopic part of the mold that is likely growing down into the yogurt itself, even if the mold you can see is only on the lid.
Yogurt is a fermented product, and can last long past the expiration date. Generally, expiration dates are for retailers to determine when products should be pulled off the shelves, and most items are good for several days if not weeks past the expiration date. The longer past the date, the more suspect. It's more about quality than safety, and I wouldn't eat leftovers that were more than 4 or 5 days old, as there is a higher risk of contamination than with a product in a sealed container that has not been opened since it was sealed in the factory.

Will outdated frosting make you sick?
I spoke to customer service at a major distributor of ready made frosting. They told me it is a "quality issue" not a "safety issue" that you not eat outdated frosting. In my case, I'm only baking something fun for myself, so I determined that so long as it tastes okay - which it does - then I'll go ahead and eat it. The Customer Service Rep assured me there is nothing in it to make me sick as a result of the expired date, they are concerned with it not being as high quality expired as it is when fresh. The way I look at it, there's enough stuff in it to make me sick even when it's fresh, but I like the taste so I'm treating myself! I intentionally am not stating the name of the major distributor because if someone else happens to have a bad experience with outdated frosting, I don't want the manufacturer held responsible. It is all on you - whoever choses to eat it expired. And I do so....enjoy!

Why would yogurt makers put live bacteria in the yogurt you eat?
The bacteria in yogurt is necessary for the creation of the yogurt - those bacteria are actually what is responsible for transforming the milk into yogurt. They are left alive for you to eat because science is finding certain bacteria are very beneficial for your digestive system and can thus have many beneficial affects on health in general. You can read more about this if you look up "probiotics". Because of this, it is even possible to take these bacteria in pill form to get the benefits without eating the yogurt.
