Sealed jar
16 Answers
HOw long after its BB date is it ok to use a sealed jar of cook in sauce. Someone told me it would keep for years but I have one a good few months out of date, and am wondering whether it would have lost any of its original taste/consistency

There will be nothing wrong with it however, food with a Best Before date can be eaten after that date has passed, this is definatelty true of canned and bottled stuff as long as it has not been opened. Best Before is simply a guide to say that before this date the food will be of top quality yet after it is likely to less than perfect.

me too a few months is ok, years well then i'd probably chuck it.
Best before are used to cover their backs, there were no best before dates when i was a kid, a bottle of tomato ketchup would be in my Nan's cupboard for years. Now its all refridgerate and best before dates.
Check the lid though make sure it isn't blown it also should make a nice pop when you open it, if not bin it!
