Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Energy Drink expire?
An unopened energy drink can usually last between 6-9 months past the printed date on the package, if stored properly. Once opened, an energy drink should be consumed within a day or two to maintain its optimal freshness and carbonation. Freezing is not a common storage method for energy drinks, as it can alter the taste and carbonation.
How do you tell if Energy Drink is bad?
A clear sign that your energy drink has gone bad is a change in color, texture, or smell. If the drink appears cloudy, has an off smell, or the taste is not as strong as it should be, it's time to discard it. Also, if the can is bulging or leaking, this could indicate that bacteria has caused the contents to ferment and the drink is no longer safe to consume.
Tips for storing Energy Drink to extend shelf life
• Always keep your energy drinks in a cool, dry place.
• Once open, store the energy drink in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
• Never freeze your energy drink as it could burst the can and change the drink's carbonation and flavor.
• If the can or bottle is damaged or leaking, discard the drink immediately. It is not worth the risk of potential illness or flavor degradation.
