Always check the 'best by' or 'use by' date on the packaging.
Keep the lid tightly sealed after each use to prevent contamination.
Use clean utensils to dispense the sauce to avoid introducing bacteria.
If the sauce has been left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour above 90°F/32°C) after opening, discard it.
