When you open a jar of juice and forget to put it in the refrigerator after that is it still good?

Question

I saw an apple juice in our pantry that said refrigerate after opening, but whom ever opened it did not do so, so I would like to know if it still good or should it be tossed? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It may depend how long it was left out.  

Answer 2

I wouldn't chance it.You don't know how long it's been there.

Answer 3

Something that's supposed to be refridgerated is usually good for about two hours when it's left out. If it's been out of the fridge for more than two hours, you need to throw it away.

Answer 4

it should defienetly be tossed.

if not and you drink it you can get food poisioning.

believe me its happened to me before

Answer 5

Take a little spoon and try, it depends on the room temperature it is exposed to I think...

Answer 6

sniff it and if it smells like vinegar toss it or make it into vinegar. Add some herbs to it and some EVOO to make it into a vinegarette for your salad.

Answer 7

depends on how long it was that way.
