What does the code date on the side of the container signify?
The code date on the container is the sell by date. This is the date when the cultures slowly start to diminish. To get the maximum benefit from the live cultures our products should be eaten by the code date and should be refrigerated until eaten. However, because of the live cultures, yogurt is also a very safe food. All our Cascade Fresh products are good to eat past the sell by date. Traditionally cultures were used to preserve milk and cultured products are not like milk or meat that can spoil by their expiration date. Live active cultures retard colonization of putrefactive bacteria, such as E. coli and Salmonella that can make you ill.
