My lemon juice concentrate's use by date passed a few months ago. It was kept it in the fridge the whole time. Is it still safe to use it?
Can lemon juice concentrate be used after the use-by-date

I also typically use bottled lemon juice, as my budget does not allow for fresh lemons.
Stilltasty says you should use the bottle within a week, but I've had success with keeping it much, much longer.
That said, this is one item that will not usually work well past its best-by date, I've found.
Maybe in the future, you could freeze it in cubes if you can't use it soon enough?
