i left my orange juice out since 3:00pm this afternoon can i still put it back in the fridge?

Answer 1

Orange juice does not spoil and can be left out of the fridge. At certain hotels they put orange juice in containers right out on the counter for hours. It does not curdle like milk. If left out for a long time it starts to ferment and is no good but it will have a nasty pungent odor you can recognize right away.

You did not mention how long it had been out but if it is under 48 hours it is absolutely fine.

Answer 2

depend where you live but if your place in winter time like in USA.. you still can put back in the fridge, and you still can drink that.. just notice if taste sour or different then just throw that out

Answer 3

It's risky, but you can give it a whirl . Make sure the OJ is gone in the next day or two .

Answer 4

What is good about oj, is that when you take it out of the refridge, it it smells funky or does not taste good, you just throw it away.,

Answer 5

Yep

Answer 6

Oh, just smell it and take a little taste. Throw it out if you have any concern, It's cheap enough.

Answer 7

you can put it back in the fridge anytime you want. will it still be good? what does the label say.

Answer 8

Yeah unless it's been glued outside.. a bug might have laid eggs in it also, I probably would.

Answer 9

give it the sniff test. it'll smell like wine if it is bad. be sure to check it again before you drink it.

Answer 10

taste it (carefully!) to see - if is is off, chuck it. It won't kill you , just taste a bit off
