Shelf Life After Opening: Once opened, cranberry juice typically lasts 7 to 10 days in the refrigerator.

Type Matters: Juice from concentrate or with preservatives may last up to two weeks, but it's best consumed within the first week.

Refrigeration is Key: Always store opened cranberry juice in the fridge to slow down spoilage.

[{"selector":"#anim-84749d86-8556-4668-9616-bccbf3c22d12","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b217eaa-2d86-4431-9931-91ad5c5bdb0e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b8f33854-e980-448f-b475-e18402b83755","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 196.23799%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Smell Test: If the juice develops a sour or fermented odor, it has likely gone bad.

[{"selector":"#anim-23d1a83a-bdc2-4a2d-8123-5b7d500491da","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-107f787a-f8c8-4e60-9fe3-87b8a5048593","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-180d751c-0770-4972-a5f8-80eeac44f64b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 219.07265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Color Changes: Discoloration or cloudiness in the juice indicates spoilage.

[{"selector":"#anim-694efb7c-0c29-4a28-9a80-d1475c66892c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c48d6117-57c2-4714-9375-d8d7f3e0ff6d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0d063a7e-66a4-41ed-9fe9-f14b8fb63819","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 286.54965%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Taste Check: If the juice tastes off or unusually tangy, it’s time to discard it.

[{"selector":"#anim-e86036c7-94c8-4436-ba8a-60d204358415","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-74e06113-5d47-4f47-9f11-8b10355ab688","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a0e4d16e-0a60-4cf2-9871-7bd493e26893","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 208.04904%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Watch for Mold: Any mold growth, especially around the cap, means the juice is unsafe to drink.

[{"selector":"#anim-2acad76a-dd45-4594-ba87-4b8255fbffbb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8b986281-8599-4778-bd2b-7afcaade78d1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-346685c3-81ee-4c5c-afa2-b7674955ff79","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 165.33055%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":150,"duration":1001,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Seal Tightly: Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use to prevent air from entering.
