Can ponzu sauce spoil? How long does it last?

[Xeth_]

Does ponzu sauce ever go bad? I recently discovered an old bottle in the back of my fridge and I'm not sure if it's still safe to use. How long does ponzu sauce usually last once opened? Any storage tips would also be helpful!

Ponzu sauce can last quite a while, even after it's opened! Generally, it’s safe to use for about 6 months to a year if you keep it in the fridge. However, it’s always a good idea to check for changes in smell, color, or texture. If it smells off or has separated a lot, it’s better to toss it. To help it stay fresh, make sure to seal it tightly and keep it stored in the fridge.

Yes, ponzu sauce can spoil. If it is a store-bought sauce and unopened, it can last for up to a year or more past the printed expiration date if stored in a cool place. But if it's only homemade, the sauce can only lasts about 1-2 weeks even if placed in the refrigerator.
