If you put the yogurt with gel packs in an insulated picnic container

Yes. To England once, three times to Canada, and Milwaukee, WI. Yogurt

was fine. Also numerous car trips.

Concerns:

1. Are the cultures still active?

Yes.

2 Does it matter if I move the

yogurt from my glass cooking container to a plastic Tupperware

type?

No.

3. Can the yogurt still have

active cultures if the suitcase is thrown around?

Yes.
