Can drinking expired lime juice make you ill?

While drinking expired lime juice may not cause immediate harm, it generally loses its flavor and nutrition over time. As lime juice is a natural product, over time, its vitamin C content will degrade and it may start developing sour or off-flavors due to oxidation and bacterial growth. Consuming such juice may not be as harmful as consuming spoiled meat or dairy products, but it can cause unpleasant symptoms such as stomachaches, nausea, or discomfort in the digestive system.

For safety and quality purposes, it is always recommended to check the expiration date and the condition of any beverage before consuming it, and avoid consuming expired products.
