However, in the comments section, he admitted that they may have unintentionally left the opened packet in the fridge for too long. ''I had it in there for a week after opening. I didn't know it starts collecting bacteria that early,'' he replied to a comment.
Meanwhile, the post has gone viral and gathered an array of reactions from Reddit users. One user wrote, ''Report this to fssai, you can't leave it like this. And stop drinking this sugary juice, their 100% is bogus. Rather eat a fruit as a whole, it loses its fiber when consumed in liquid form. ''
Another commented, ''Stop drinking this diabetic fluid and make your own juice from real fruits...will be my opinion on this simply.''
A third wrote, ''Ya. This sucks. They need to be consumed within a set number of days after opening. Also, sometimes some products just go bad. See if you can report it. Hope your health is good and nothing adverse happened.'' A fourth added, ''Stop consuming anything which says ‘Contains added sugar' and purchasing sugar for cooking. Your half-diet goals will be achieved.''
