Does Tobasco sauce go bad?

Question

Does it spoil? How long can you have it in a cupboard?

Answer 1

opened -it is good up to a year

Answer 2

Tabasco has a long shelf life if unopened, and even when opened, it still stays good for a long time. It's mostly vinegar and peppers, which means that the worst enemy is apt to be mold.

If you've had an opened, refrigerated bottle for more than 6-8 months, it's probably a good idea to replace it. The stuff is probably still good, but it's cheaper to buy a new bottle than take chances.

Answer 3

I used some tobasco that had been sitting around for two years and it tasted just fine--although it had not been opened.

Answer 4

no tobasco sauce stays good for years as long as it is in the glass conainer, but it will go bad in the plastic container.

Answer 5

I say in case you don't get a abdomen discomfort then choose for it. basically dipping your finger interior the bottle won't harm you. it is base is vinegar and so is a pickle and we consume lots of those.

Answer 6

never heard of it spoiling- since a main ingredient in it is vinegar. i always keep mine in the fridge tho

Answer 7

I seriously doubt it can spoil. At the worst it would lose its potency

Answer 8

Everything goes bad eventually. Think about it:

your breath, your food, your car, etc.

If its been over a year - Toss it.

Answer 9

No. After a while it will turn BROWN, but even then it's probably okay. Maybe you should keep it in the fridge, though - I do..

Answer 10

no, it has vinegar in it, and spices. nothing perishable at all, and its ingredients are natural preservatives. i think it can last for years.
