Sour cream can spoil. Mold usually shows up when this happens. You can prevent this by storing sour cream upside down in the refridgerator. This moves the air in the container to another part of the sour cream.* : *If you move the air in the container to a different part of the sour cream by turning it upside down while it is stored, all this will do is prevent you from seeing any mold that may be growing. : *If mold is growing, the entire container needs to be thrown away. Just because you cannot see mold spores on one part of it does not mean they are not there.

well one way is you could taste something and it is sour but not supposed to be. If that happens, immediatly throw it out! another way is if you are about to open a specific food (not soda or anything like that) and you look at the experation date and it says something like this: expires: 5/7/06 and the date then is like: 6/15/06 or even worse: 12/26/09 that as well through out when you see it under 6 days from the current time.

Bacteria is what causes mold to form on yogurt. This food has live cultures in it anyway. Dairy products have a very limited shelf life.

Yogurt is formed by fermenting milk using certain bacteria. But other bacteria (other than the cultures used) can also grow in the yogurt, especially unpasteurized types, and cause spoilage.
