Lakewood juices have a “Best By” date printed on the cap of each individual bottle. "Best By" is the date recommended for best flavor and quality. It is not an expiration or safety date.  The date provided by Lakewood is an indication of how long the juice will retain its best quality when the product has remained sealed and properly stored. After the “Best By” date has passed, you will notice gradual changes in the color or flavor of the juice. Juices held beyond the “Best By” date in their original seal are safe to drink.
