How long can fresh juices be stored?

This depends on a number of things including the kind of juicer that you use, the way that you store the juice and the length of time it takes you to store it. Because of the number of variables, we cannot make any recommendations about the length of time or guarantee the compatibility between your juice and the plastic bottles.

The best plastic bottles to store your juice

You can use either HDPE or PET plastic bottles to store juice.  Either can be used for freezing.  Whilst there is an ongoing debate about whether plastic can be safely used to freeze food products, it is widely used in the packaging industry and the FDA have concluded that PET containers do not leach harmful amounts of substances into their contents.
