Is orange juice shelf-stable when not in a fridge?

Question

Recently, my parents were away for two weeks and left a bottle of orange juice in the trunk of their car. The orange juice was not opened and the weather has been pretty cold. The bottle shows no singed of any sort of fermentation and it smells okay. I am wondering if it is still okay to drink.

Thankyou for the help!

Answer 3

It depends, in a sealed carton in a cool area it’s okay.

Answer 4

If it is longlife/pasteurised juice it will be OK if it was unopened until it was removed from the car. If it was fresh unpasteurised juice or if it was opened it may have gone 'off' and would be better not to taketh risk. 

Answer 5

i wouldnt drink it if youre not sure

Answer 6

If it comes from the refrigerator case in the store, it is not self-stable.
