Functional food is any fresh or processed food claimed to have a health promoting property beyond the basic function of supplying nutrients. Yakult is a functional food because it contains billions of good bacteria (probiotics). These bacteria support the balance of the intestinal flora and in this way support your natural defences.
"Functional Foods" is the name given to foods which have some sort of medical/health claim attached to them, for example pro-biotic yogurts (such as Danone, or Yakult) or cholesterol lowering spreads/oils/cereals. "Normal Foods" could be considered to be all foods except functional foods.
When you drink expired Yakult you can risk getting very ill. Anything expired can cause food poisoning.
