I've tried some last night. 24 hours has passed and I'm still alive. This means it's safe to consume the rest of it.

“Best by” means you’re good

I swear franks doesn’t go bad lol. My Kitchen buddy couple years ago had a 3 year expired jug. He used all that shit up for himself lmao

If stored correctly and you don’t get food or contaminants on the inside of the lid or in the sauce, hot sauce is basically good for years past the best before. Especially Franks, it’s got such a high acid content. Watched a YT video with Smokin Ed Curry explaining the science behind it all, was interesting

Best buy is a b s. term invented to sell more product. That shit has so much vinegar it will last for a decade. Best buy makes you think you need to replace items when they are perfectly fine. Consumerism and capitalism at its finest.

“best by” is not an expiration date. You’re fine.

I make my own hot sauce and test the PH for every batch. If it’s below 4 it’ll taste off way before it’ll make you sick. I suggest people who buy it to refrigerate it to preserve flavor but it’s def shelf stable for a long, long time.

If unsure, put a drop on your finger and taste. If it tastes off, trash it.

The only thing I use the bb date for is organizing my hot sauce cabinet! True hotsauce connoisseurs know no limits otherwise 😂

Well yeah, why would it not be safe? Vinegar is a preservative. I have hot sauces from a few years ago

I have some Tabasco with best by data in 2007, still tastes normal.
Heck, we had a tub of sour cream that was a year past best by date when we finished it. Like I told my son, “it’s already sour”.

Red hot never goes bad.

best by, for the freshness of the pepper, perhaps, since i think it’s already aged. The more acid something has, the longer it keeps. like, yogurt will go bad, but it’ll take a lot longer than milk

Vinegar. It does WONDERS for preserving stuff.

Best by means it might not taste right but technically won’t make you sick.

First time I ever tried hot sauce as a kid (franks) it was 5 years expired and tasted gross but I thought that’s how hot sauce was supposed to taste so I ate it with Doritos. Stomach felt heavy after but I was fine.

With the amount of sodium and acid in a typical hot sauce, it’d take a lot to spoil.
