Milk and yogurt are no longer foreign to Malaysian diets. Milk contains calcium and Vitamin D, in addition to three micronutrients which make it a 'complete and balanced' meal of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Therefore, everyone should drink a glass of milk a day to get calcium.

Yogurt also has many benefits. For example, strengthening the bones, whitening teeth, can lose weight and more. Yogurt is always a favorite among women because it is one of the diet diets to lose weight.

So milk and yogurt are now a favorite food of many people. But, do you know how much time it takes to store milk and yogurt at home? It is an old expiration date, but what if it is already open? How long has it been?
