➤Fresh Homemade Mango Juice Lasts 2–3 Days:
When refrigerated in an airtight container, fresh mango juice should be consumed within 2 to 3 days for best taste and safety.
➤Store-Bought Mango Juice Lasts Longer:
Unopened commercial mango juice can last 6–12 months, thanks to preservatives and pasteurization.
➤Opened Store-Bought Juice Lasts 5–10 Days:
Once opened, it’s best to consume store-bought mango juice within a week, keeping it refrigerated at all times.
➤Pasteurized Juice Has a Longer Shelf Life:
Pasteurized mango juice typically has an extended shelf life because heat treatment kills bacteria and enzymes.
➤Check the Expiration Date:
Always read the “best by” date on the bottle or carton. Don’t rely solely on smell or appearance.
➤Watch for Signs of Spoilage:

Sour smell, color changes, gas bubbles, or a bulging container are signs that mango juice has gone bad.
➤Freeze for Longer Storage:
To extend freshness, freeze mango juice in ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers. It can last up to 3 months frozen.
➤Keep It Airtight:
Oxygen speeds up spoilage. Store mango juice in airtight glass or BPA-free plastic bottles for best results.
➤Avoid Room Temperature Storage:
Unless it’s shelf-stable and sealed, don’t store mango juice at room temperature—bacteria grows quickly.
➤Homemade Juice Without Sugar Spoils Faster:
Juices without added sugar or preservatives spoil more quickly, so enjoy them fresh and cold.
