If the original jar or can has been opened, the answer is YES ... this is because you have removed the air tight seal and have allowed ourside air to get inside the jar or can. Would suggest refrigerating the remainder and considering using it up within a week.

Basically, any time of food does and will "go bad" after expiration date. The only exception is honey.

AnswerAbsolutely pasta sauce can go bad, whether it is kept in a cabinet or in the refrigerator. The expiration date is usually accurate, once jar is opened. If jar has not been opened, it can last months after the expiration date. Answeryes,pasta sauce can go bad Answeryes it can if it is in a unopened jar then it shouldn't however if it was opened then it can grow moldly Answeryeah it can...when it grows mold AnswerYes canned pasta sauce is about 12 months. However pasta is 24 months. Answer

Experience: I had a can of Huntz Pasta canned in my cupboard. I looked at the date and it said Aug. 2007. Well, it's July 2008, lol. I opened it and ate it and it was fine. No problems. So a year after the Best Buy is ok for Huntz. I might be dead tomorrow though.

It depends on the main ingredients. If it's a predominantly tomato based BBQ sauce (almost all of them are) then, yes. It will darken in color and develop mold on the top. It should be refrigerated after you open it. Check the label on the bottle and it will say "refrigerate after opening" somewhere on the label.

Cooked pasta can (and will) certainly go moldy after roughly a week in the fridge. Dried pasta can keep for easily over a year if stored airtight in a dark place.

Yes, It can "go bad".

That is why there is a date on the bottle, stating when it should be used by.

Spaghetti Sauce in a jar can go bad when you leave out for a long period of time.

After you open any bottle of sauce you should keep it in the fridge. It can stay there safely for months. If bacteria or mold grows across the top of the sauce, you should throw it away.
