The Answer Can Be Complicated"},"content":{"rendered":"When it comes to vinegar, there are two camps of people: Those who can't get enough and those who avoid its fermented funk. And speaking of funk, vinegar always has a funky smell, so how do you know when it's past its prime? Does vinegar ever become <em>too<\/em> funky to consume safely? Does vinegar go bad? Does vinegar expire? Thankfully, the answer to these questions is about as clear as white vinegar.\r\n<h2>Does vinegar go bad?<\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1792449\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220808-Vinegar-AD-0009v2.jpg?fit=700,467\" alt=\"vinegar expiration date\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf you look at a bottle of vinegar in your pantry, you'll probably notice that it does, in fact, have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/expiration-date\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">expiration date<\/a>\u2014but it's not quite the same as the expiration date you'll find on most other food products.\r\n\r\n\"Vinegar has an expiration date for quality purposes, but due to its high acidity\u2014with a pH of 2-3\u2014vinegar will never 'go bad',\" says food safety and compliance certification expert Matt Regusci, of <a href=\"https:\/\/asifood.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ASI Food Safety<\/a>. Over time, the acidity level decreases, reducing potency.\r\n\r\nThat means that old vinegar is technically safe to consume because it won't harm you in the same way old dairy or fish would, but that doesn't mean its shelf life is \"to infinity and beyond,\" either. \"Over time, due to improper storage and oxidation, vinegar quality and flavor may change,\" says Regusci.\r\n\r\nAnd vinegar shelf life is not a one-size-fits-all rule, either, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/when-each-type-of-vinegar-works-best\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">each type of vinegar<\/a> has its own peak quality and freshness timeframe. \"Wine, balsamic and rice vinegar has a shelf life of two to three years, and apple cider vinegar lasts five years,\" says Regusci. \"But distilled vinegar will be good forever.\"\r\n\r\nSo rest assured, vinegar is not one of those pantry items you're probably keeping for too long.\r\n<h2>How do you know if vinegar has gone bad?<\/h2>\r\nNow that the question of \"does vinegar expire?\" is off the table, how do you assess freshness? Since the age-old \"sniff test\" is out due to its natural pungency, you may choose to rely on its visual appearance instead.\r\n<h3>Is cloudy vinegar safe to use?<\/h3>\r\nIf you're noticing a general cloudiness in your vinegar, that's your signal to buy a new bottle.\r\n\r\n\"When the vinegar starts getting cloudy, or the flavor is off, then oxidation has significantly changed the quality of the product,\" explains Regusci. \"But I wouldn't say spoiled, I would say low-quality.\"\r\n\r\nIf you find what looks like strings of sediment floating in your bottle, that's called \"mother\"\u2014it can form in any unpasteurized vinegar as a result of bacteria fermentation and is widely regarded as the most nutritious part\u2014many health food advocates recommend choosing organic, raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar with \"mother,\" for instance.\r\n<h2 class=\"\">How should you store vinegar?<\/h2>\r\nAs Regusci alluded to earlier, improper storage is one of the quickest ways to degrade vinegar quality. To help give your vinegar purchase the longevity it deserves, he recommends storing it sealed in its original bottle in a cool, dark place. \"Once you open the vinegar, it will still last a long time if you keep the lid on the original bottle and store it in a cool, dark place\u2014like a pantry or cellar,\" he says.\r\n\r\nEven if your vinegar starts to lose its quality, know that there's nothing inherently wrong with using it besides a slightly different taste and maybe some decolorization. If all else fails, use it to pickle vegetables or clean with it using these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/19-vinegar-cleaning-hacks-thatll-save-you-money\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vinegar cleaning hacks<\/a>.\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered, &#8220;Does vinegar go bad?&#8221; we have the answer to that, plus how to store it properly so it lasts longer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7480,"featured_media":1792445,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[303883,303897],"categories-v2":[308476,308490],"coauthors":[256801],"acf":{"ncv_override_generic_settings_option":false,"ncv_autoplay_option":"","ncv_stickyplay_option":"","ncv_ads_option":"","ncv_mute_option":"","ncv_comscore_option":"","ncv_moat_option":"","ncv_autoplay_mobile_option":"","ncv_viewable_threshold_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_option":"","ncv_autopause_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_mobile_option":"","ncv_autopause_mobile_option":"","ncv_sticky_mobile_option":"","ncv_remove_player_option":false,"long_pin_file":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.3 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Does Vinegar Go Bad?
