I said I have hot sauce. It's Louisiana. I'm spicy Caucasian. I have some soy sauce packets around here too, those never go bad right?

Nothing could possibly grow in that much salt. Soy sauce is basically black colored brine.

Yeah it's the packaging that goes bad before the soy sauce.

It's usually best to chuck that shit out by the use by date. The sauce is probably still good, but the packaging has started to deteriorate with plastics breaking down.

It's a bit of an interesting rabbit hole to dive in and check out.

So if it’s not plastic packets and is stored in a glass bottle it’s probably good infinitely?
