Does Soy Sauce ever go bad?

Does Soy Sauce ever go bad?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’ve had the same soy sauce in my fridge for about two years, I still use it, and it takes fine to me. Salt is a preservative plus it’s a fermented (brewed) product but I find the longer you keep it around, the more likely you’ll end up with that supersalty sludge at the end of the bottle due to settling salt and evaporation. I’ll usually toss the last remaining half inch or so from a gallon jug or try to “red cook” something with it as it’s really too salty to use as you would regular soy sauce. Soy sauce has very high sodium in it.
