The Five “Most Dangerous” Expired Condiments in Your Fridge

Before you add some mayo to your sandwich you may want to check that expiration date. Listed below are 5 condiment items that can make you really sick if you eat them pass their expiration date.

1.  Mayonnaise.  It’s got eggs.  So once it’s been opened, the USDA says it’s only good for two months.  Give it the sniff test.  If it doesn’t smell right, chuck it.

2.  Salad dressing.  Creamy kinds that have eggs or cheese are also supposed to be tossed after two months.  Oily dressings last longer.

3.  Ketchup and barbecue sauce.  You’ve got about six months to use them up.  Keep an eye on the color.  If it changes, toss them.

4.  Mustard.  It lasts longer, because there’s more vinegar in it.  Once you break the seal, you’ve got one year to use it up.

5.  Soy sauce.  Some people assume it’s one that lasts forever.  But again, you’ve got about a year to use it.
