If you prefer spicy cuisine, you probably keep hot sauce in your kitchen. Is the fridge or pantry preferable for keeping spicy sauce?
We talked to a food safety expert who also happens to love the stuff to find out what to do.
The bottle will mention whether you need to refrigerate your spicy sauce. "If the bottle doesn't include this phrase, it probably doesn't require refrigeration."
Follow the label directions to guarantee the highest quality and safest food, as correct storage of food, and condiments helps maintain flavor, texture, and safety.
If the hot sauce has an atypical color, terrible smell, or changed texture, dump it.
Always err on the side of caution. "If you are in question that a meal has gone bad, it is advisable to toss it away."
