How Long Do You Keep Juice After it's Been Open?

MamatoJackson

The bottle doesn't say anywhere how long it's fresh.  I'm specifically talking about prune juice - We give DD 4 ounces per day so the thing lasts forever but I'm sure I should throw it out at some point.  How long would you think I'm in the clear?

I'm interested in this too because my DD gets prune juice occasionally and the bottle sits in the fridge for a long time.  I have never been able to find it in a single serving size!

Me either and, for juice, it's pretty pricey - I can't seem to find it under $4 for a container.  I found a small container at the .99 cent store once but went back a few months later and they no longer carried it.

DH is in the beverage industry (the company that owns Minute Maid) & said no longer than 3 days once opened placed in the fridge.  Gerber sells single servings in the baby food isle.  Sometimes I can find it in a 4 pack and other times or stores sell it in the single serve small bottle (CVS & Walgreens).  DD also LOVES baby food prunes too so I give it to her that way too if needed.

We don't drink much juice so I freeze it in ice cube trays or in popsicle molds and thaw as needed (or eat as Popsicles of course).

Three days?! That sucks.  I buy the huge containers of Tree Top Apple Juice and keep it in there for at least a month.  Eeeeeeek.

I am thinking it was a typo and she meant 3 weeks or months.  Probably weeks.

Unless her DH really did say 3 days....she did say he was in the beverage industry or something like that....maybe he wants to boost sales?
