have you checked the dates &/or the type?
older yogurt gets thinner & kinda lumpy. the no fat is runnier
than the low fat, & the only *good* thick yogurt is the full
fat <g>. both the low fat & no fat Stonyfield have thickeners
added, which could also account for variations in consistancy.
old yogurt that is still sealed should be fine. i've had
quarts of plain & vanilla (full fat) Stonyfield get lost in
the fridge to resurface & be perfectly fine a year later
(opened ones don't last more than 10 days). they do get a bit
runnier because the lactobacillus bacteria *are* live culture
& the cold just slows them down, it doesn't kill them, so they
are still working & changing the consistancy.
