The first step in reducing food waste is to keep it well. The refrigeration temperature shall be below 4oC (40oF) and the freezing temperature shall be less than -18oC (0oF). To keep the food fresh and shelf life, store it in a sealed container.

In conclusion, food expiry dates are more an indicator of quality than a strict safety standard. Reduce food waste without sacrificing taste or safety by learning how to read labels, keeping food properly and relying on your senses. You should probably give this condiment a second chance before throwing it away, even if it stayed outside for a day.
