I found an expired brown sugar that was out of date by three months so I marked it out for inventory and proceeded to use the bottle over the next couple months till I ran out. Couldn’t tell a lick of difference between it and the syrups that were within the best by date.

Edit: I specify the brown sugar because I feel like of all our syrups that one is the least homogenous and would probably keep the most poor. Something like a vanilla/classic consistency that’s almost clear is probably a guaranteed lack of change in taste.

I’m working on a bottle of vanilla that expired over a year ago now, they are still good. If you have sauces like pumpkin I’d be a bit more weary, the thick sauces like that have milk in them

These comments are rough… Y’all are really sticking up for a company who doesn’t give one single shit about you….. Your syrups should be good until the 30 day mark after you’ve opened them! There’s also an expiration date somewhere on the bottle for how long they’re good till IF you haven’t opened them. I think it lasts for like a year or something!

There's a stamped best buy date near the neck of the bottle if you want to make sure they aren't too far gone.

The syrups should be fine, as they are just sugar, it took me a year to finish my bottles of torani. I'd definitely be more careful about sauces thought because of the milk.

I’ve found they are good for about a year and then start the crystallize after that, so I pitch them at that point. RIP the marshmallow I’d hold on to for forever

Nah they have so much sugar they won't really go bad

I've got an Irish cream from last year I just opened and it's still perfect.

u should be good as long as it’s unopened !! Maybe don’t use the dairy ones

Imagine a restaurant opens a new hot sauce bottle. Their standard may be to date for it for a month also (if they even would). But you bet your ass I’m going to use my year old bottle of the same stuff for taco Tuesday. Ever take a banana bread home after it “expires” and it’s still good for another week? How we date things is honestly a joke, I think they use the absolute minimum day for stuff for worst case scenario type deals.

There should be an expiration date on the bottle! If it’s unopened it’s good until that date :)

So you stole?

There is a use by date on the bottles, but they usually don’t last more than three months. I guess that’s what you for stealing? Lol
