I work as a Head of maintenance at a hotel, since covid we have closed our usual buffet style breakfast. Which includes our juice machine. Thinking nothing of it back in March we shut everything down boxed everything up and figured we'd have it back open in a week or so, maybe a month tops. He we are about 6 months later and I'm helping go threw and sort all the expired food and beverages. We come across three cases of three, 1 gallon apple and cranberry juice concentrate bags for the juice machine. They have a best by date on them of June....but best by right? Not expired...(also not puffy, moldy, or smelly. I did cut one open to taste it, I live on the dangerous side). Anyway I loaded them into my car to take home, it made me want to ask if anyone else had tried making anything from these sort of bags. Also if there were any problems anyone could see about the best by date. The only problem I do see is that they both claim on the ingredient label that they have, "1/10 sodium benzoate and 1/4 of one dose of sorbate." So will it even ferment is the other question. If anything I figure on maybe freezing a few and using it as a sort of make shift fpack maybe.. any opinions or please don't do that's would be welcome, haha. Thanks
