it is a condiment, can stay in the fridge practically forever!.!.!.!. I have 9 different hotsauces in my fridge and have moved 3 times in 4 yrs with same hotsauces!.!.!. they are as good as the day i bought them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
One question I get asked alot is shelf life of hot sauces!. Chile peppers have been used throughout time to preserve food, and therefore, between the chile peppers and vinegar that is the "liquid" in today’s hot sauces should hold it’s freshness for a long time!.
Many hot sauce collectors will not keep their sauces in the refrigerator!. I suggest to customers that if the sauce is pepper based, and has no fruit or vegetables in it, will keep for a long time on the table!. It should keep almost forever in a refrigerator!. However, if the sauce has fruit or vegetables or ingredients beyond vinegar, garlic and peppers, once opened should be refrigerated!. If taken care of, these sauces should last several months if not a year once opened!.
You probably won’t be surprised to hear, that if you came to my house and opened my refrigerator, you would be met with a door full of hot sauces!. And many of them are several years old (hey, a girl can only eat so much hot sauce a week!)…!.!.and I wouldn’t think of throwing any of them out!

Go by the date listed on the bottle!. Hot sauce will not usually go bad!. I suggest putting it in the refrigerator after opening it!. That helps to preserve it!. The longer you keep it, it could get stronger or maybe even weaker!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's a Vinegar product and will last indefinitely!. After opening it should be refrigerated to prevent it from turning dark brown!. Even then it's still good it just looks yucky!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
