NER - Yes, I really am this dumb

Well, that, and I have a cold so my "sniff test" isn't working properly.

How long does an opened carton of orange juice stay fresh (i.e. safe to drink) in the refrigerator?  I opened a container about two days before I left for Ohio, so it's been open for about 10 days now.  Safe to drink?

Re: NER - Yes, I really am this dumb

  • I drink OJ that has been open in the fridge for a month. ?I'm sure it's fine.
  • When OJ goes bad, you'll know, even if your smell is a bit off. OJ going bad ferments, and it absolutely reeks. Trust me, you wouldn't be able to miss that smell.

    there should be a date on teh carton

    The only date I have is a "best buy" date, and that doesn't apply once you've opened it.  Meaning that once you've opened something, you can't necessarily keep it to that date because of the danger of bacterial infiltration. 

    Thanks for the info, everyone.  FI didn't do any shopping while I was gone, so OJ is the only beverage we have in the house right now (he didn't even fill up the Brita while I was gone).  *sigh*  Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to cause a trip to the ER for food poisoning. Wink

  • MW,

    FOUR times?  ::shudder::   I've had it twice, and it really is tops on my list of worst things I've been through. 

  • You can taste it when it starts to turn. ?So, take a small sip, and if it isn't gross, then it's ok to drink. ?I've never gotten food poisoning, though, so I either have an iron stomach or I don't eat bad food. ?Given my habits, I'd guess the former.

  • I was gonna say/guess - i bet it just starts to ferment - so you could tell no matter how bad your sniffer is. If its anything like sour milk, you aren't gonna have to "wait and see" when you take a sip - you'll probably have an involuntary reaction to not swallow!

     

  • I think you're totally fine. Three weeks might be a different story. :)
