Which is why the bags have a super short shelf life and the machine has a barcode scanner that will detect and refuse to squeeze expired bags. They touted this as a feature, of course.

It is a feature (only) if they send you a replacement for free (with free shipping and everything) if you sent them a picture of the expired packet.

Why even need to send a picture? Each package is barcoded and the machine is internet connected. As soon as it was rejected it should schedule delivery of a replacement packet.

Sorry because I forgot that the juicer is connected to the Internet. Don't get me wrong I love technology but my first thought is we need failsafe backups (:
