Yes, nonfat yogurt can go bad if left at room temperature for 2 days. Dairy products, including yogurt, should be kept refrigerated to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. After being left at room temperature for an extended period, it’s best to discard it to avoid any foodborne illness. Always follow food safety guidelines to ensure your health.
Yogurt can be left out at room temperature for up to 2 hours before it starts to go bad. After that, it should be refrigerated to maintain its freshness and prevent bacterial growth.
I would estimate a two hour limit for keeping yogurt at room temperature. Personally, I take it out of the refrigerator and eat it immediately. I see no need to keep it at room temperature.
yes. Sour cream is made by adding live yogurt cultures to heavy cream and leaving it at room temp for a few days. You can either add some plain yogurt to your cream and leave it out for a few days, or you can add a touch of lemon juice to your recipe with the heavy cream. Personally, I substitute plain yogurt for the lower fat content, and it tastes the same.
Some people would consider the risk of bacteria in food being left out too great to risk eating after one hour. Open Yogurt will separate after 4 hours, and will spoil after 12 hrs at room temp. Yogurt, though, is produced with bacteria, changing its spoilage dynamic. If it is still sealed, for example, uncontaminated yogurt has a much longer safe longevity*. However even then you are risking at least indigestion from the higher concentration of bacteria. If it separates in the container, however, that is a sign it has probably been contaminated, or was not an ideal bacterial mix to begin, and should not be eaten regardless how long it was at room temp. *Personal experience having eaten yogurt that at different occasions was; 6 months expired, left in a hot car for 1 day, and left in a backpack at room temperature for 2 days; with the only side effects being a change of texture with the hot car, and indigestion from the backpack yogurt. Room temperature is possibly the least safe of the three, based on that.

It can go spoil and become rancid.
It's generally safe to eat yogurt kept at room temperature for a short period, as it is typically a fermented product that can withstand some temperature fluctuations. However, if the yogurt has been left out for more than two hours, it's best to avoid it, especially during pregnancy, due to the risk of harmful bacteria. Always check for any signs of spoilage, such as off smells or unusual textures, before consuming. When in doubt, it's safer to choose yogurt that has been properly refrigerated.
The answer depends on whether or not the yogurt is at room temperature or refrigerated. Frozen is another entirely different category. Can you clarify?
yes... yogurt is full of l. balcari bacteria. they are able to live at tempratures of up to 34 degrees. the perticular strain will stop the formation of bad bacteria growing.. even at room temp! only yogurt contians the bacteria so dont try it with other dairy!
if its left a room temp un covered yes if its sealed in a fridge its o.k. if its left unopen then im not sure
Examples: fermentation, contamination.
If left for two days at room temperature, the water in the solution would evaporate, causing the concentration of copper sulfate to increase. Over time, crystals of copper sulfate would start to form at the bottom of the dish.
