Yes, Sunny D does expire.
Sunny D, like most beverages, has a shelf life. While the exact expiration date may vary depending on the specific product (e.g., regular Sunny D vs. SunnyD Vodka Seltzer) and storage conditions, it's important to check the packaging for a "best by" or expiration date. Consuming Sunny D past this date may result in a decline in quality, taste, and potentially, though less likely, spoilage.
Here's some additional information that can be helpful:
- SunnyD Vodka Seltzer: This specific product has a 365-day shelf life. The manufacture date is printed on the bottom of the cans.
- Julian Date Code: SunnyD Vodka Seltzer cans use a Julian date code, where the code
YDDD
indicates the year and day of the year. For example,3055
means the 55th day of 2023 (February 24, 2023). To determine the expiration date, add 365 days to the manufacture date.
Always examine the Sunny D packaging and use the "best by" date as a guide. Proper storage (refrigeration after opening) can also help extend the quality of the beverage.
