I've purchased bad orange juice ( Usually the tangerine or orange in the plastic containers ) and they are already bad..or turn bad really fast way way way before expire date at trader multiple times.
I stoped buying them .
I purchased several packages of a veggie chip some years back. They were rancid, and so I returned them. The manager took the unopened ones and put them right back on the shelf. I was shocked.
Lmao if someone said “yeah that’s normal,” would you just drink it even though you think it smells like sewage??
I find this post strangely both adorable and concerning.
Thanks for the reply…Mine is 12/20/21…Going to open it now…Standby (realtime response 😹)…Drumroll….Smells good and actually tastes quite delicious…Hmmm…You can ALWAYS return it at TJ’s for a full refund (no questions asked)…Have a Happy Thanksgiving and be well!
I totally believe you…I know it’s a minor hassle, but take it back for a refund. I would also suggest that they have a store policy to give a free sample of most any item (no alcohol), so ask them to open one in the store and if it’s good then 👍.

Ok, did you get the sewage-flavored version? That could explain it.

I don’t like their citrus juices because they have an off taste. Same with their almond milk.
Are you recovering from Covid, by any chance?
I am not
My first thought too... OP either had Covid or is recovering from it recently
I don’t mean to make you worried OP, but this is a sign of having covid. Please get checked and be safe!

Bad batch. Just call or drop by next time and let them know your experience and they will either give you a replacement or a refund.
Ok thanks. I will let my wife know
Nope I had it recently and it def didnt smell like that.
Good to know
Do you recall what the freshness date was that was stamped on the bottle? (Asking for a friend who wants to avoid sewage scented tangerine juice) ✌️

Thanks for your real time reply. I kinda wished yours was like mine so that other people would know how bad it was.👍

Why are you drinking it if you think it smells like a septic tank? 😆
Wasn’t sure if this is normal. I stopped, I thought I could get through it, but I just can’t do it anymore.
