What is the shelf life of Tabasco sauce?

The shelf life of Tabasco sauce is virtually indefinite. Due to its high vinegar content and the natural antimicrobial properties of peppers, Tabasco sauce does not spoil. Generally, the flavor and quality of the sauce remain unchanged for up to five years or more when stored properly. To maintain optimal taste, it is recommended to keep the bottle tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Freezing Tabasco sauce is not necessary and can cause the product to separate or change in texture. While the color may darken or sediment may appear over time, these changes do not indicate spoilage but rather natural aging. So feel free to enjoy your Tabasco sauce for many years to come!
