How long does sauce last in the fridge?!
I want to make some pizza and I have this last can of sauce that was opened more than 12 days ago!. Is it safe to use!? I would think the acidic content shoul preserve it well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Restaurants have a 7 day rule!. Keep nothing longer than 7 days if stored at 41 F!. However, tomato sauce is highly acidic!. It takes a long time to spoil!. If it is stored properly (i!.e!. not in the can; stored in a plastic container with a lid) it may last up to 2 weeks!. Tomato sauce will taste like vinegar when it is spoiled!. Unlike other food products, spoiled tomato sauce contains no harmful bacteria!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Is it still in the can!?
If so the acids will have created some unwelcome oxides!.
If you put it in another container, not much lives in tomatoes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
