Unopened pear juice can typically be stored at room temperature until the expiration date printed on the packaging. Once opened, pear juice should be refrigerated promptly to prevent spoilage. Consume it within 7-10 days for the best quality and to minimize the risk of bacterial growth. You can also freeze pear juice in airtight containers for longer storage; however, the texture may change slightly upon thawing.
