how long is it good to keep condiment packets from fast food joints?

Question

like ketchup, taco bell sauce, parmesan cheese, cruched red pepper packets? we have extras of them stored, how long are they still good for later use since there is no expiration date?

also barbeque sauce, hot mustard, etc.

Answer 1

they have so many preservatives in them they will keep forever..sounds like your alset if theres a big storm..you can be that guy who survived on 1 condiment pack a day....and i owe my life to taco bell

Answer 2

This is a great question and I hope some actually knows! I am famous for having tons of taco bell packets in my fridge. I do not keep them in drawers, but in the cold, it makes me feel better about it.

Also, aren't the taco bell packets cool as heck with the little sayings on them?? I love that!

Answer 3

Personally I think they could go into a time machine and be brought out, opened and used.....but I am weird about that, I throw them after 6 months...no sense in taking a chance. You never know how long they have stored them

Answer 4

If you were actually using those little packs of stuff they might be worth saving . But, if you have to ask how long you can save them then you should re-think why you're saving them at all.
Better to buy what you need and store it properly, than get sick off of some little pack, because you tried to save 3 cents.

Answer 5

I would say 6 months tops and then throw them out-the expiration date is on the box they come in when they arrive at the place of business...

Answer 6

Depends how long ago you discovered them in your rolls.

Answer 7

i have had them up to a year and they were still good

Answer 8

forever, just store them in the fridge.
