Bac water left outside at -10

[vtl]

Hey guys,
My bac water was left outside by UPS at around -10°C.
I got home about 3 hours after delivery. The bottles were not frozen, but they were very cold to the touch.

I usually store my bac water at room temperature, so I’d like to hear your opinions.

Do you think it’s still safe to use, or would it be better to replace them?

You're worried that once your water is no longer cold it won't still be good?

I’m worried that being left at –10 for a few hours may have degraded the benzyl or messed up the preservative ratio.

It should be fine and that and eve gear can be slowly warmed up and remixed if it has crashed due to the cold.

If it didn’t actually freeze, you’re probably fine. Bac water is pretty stable and cold temps alone don’t usually damage it, freezing is the main concern because it could affect sterility and the preservative.
