How To Tell If Kefir Is Bad?

Kefir has a definite expiry date. This date is a guideline for consumers to determine if it’s safe to use. If the grains appear white, chunky, and elastic, they should be thrown out. The consistency should also be firm and odorless. If the grains are too thick or runny, throw them out. If it looks watery, it’s probably not good.

A clear sign that your Kefir is going wrong is the presence of mold. The mold may be present in the bottle, or pink or orange spots appear on the surface.
