I bought some stir fry sauce from the store last thursday or friday and used it a couple times over the weekend. I just read that it says "refrigerate after opening."

Do you think it's okay or should I throw it out. It smells kinda strong but I think that's just how it smells. It doesn't smell rotten or anything

It depends.
Is it very salty? If so, you're probably fine.
Is it somewhat sugary? You might want to throw it away.

I once found a half full bottle of beer behind my couch. Must have been there for at least a month. I didn't get sick, and it tasted fine apart from a couple of cigarette butts.

I did that with beef broth a few years ago when I first got my own place.

Didn't read instructions:
>IMMEDIATELY STORE IN REFRIGERATOR
>USE WITHIN 14 DAYS

I didn't die or anything even though I used it over 14 days later stored in the cabinet. Didn't go rotten, just lost flavor as time went.

Now I know not to buy the big containers.

this

the human immune system is quite remarkable, kills off so much bacteria and other junk all by itself, just do/eat/fuck whatever you think won't kill you and chances are it won't. Crazy how the brains connected to everything like that.

Sugar works about as well as salt for preservation, lowers the water activity level. Salt and sugar make the water content unusable for bacterial growth.

I teach servsafe certification courses and I love to bore the fuck out of people with endless details about food safety, sorta sad.
