I have an open bottle of lemon juice that I've been keeping in the fridge. I just took it out to dress a salad and it fizzed like soda when I opened the bottle and smells like… took me a minute to place it… yeast. What's going on? Should I throw it out?
Why is the lemon juice fizzing and smelling like yeast

It sounds like fermentation to me. That's what you'd expect when you're making mead or hard apple cider.
I'd personally dispose of it ... partially because I can't think of a good use for alcoholic lemon juice, but also because you don't know exactly what the bug is doing the fermentation.
