Tomato sauce Posted by: Louise Tahere 25 Mar 2011 7:15pm

Yes, with just two of us we do not use the tomato sauce within 8 weeks may be in the fridge for 4 months tastes the same smells the same, wow had no idea on most things you have put on this report. You wonder sometimes why you may get the odd tummy ache but not sore enough to stay home well it might just be that tomato sauce!

What about the food that moves? Posted by: peteri 23 Apr 2010 9:01am

This report assumes you can catch it. I'm mean that's fundamental to throwing it out. I'm somewhat disappointed that consumer hasn't added advise on the food that's been in there so long it's, grown legs and learned to run and hide.

Tomato sauce - 8 weeks?! Posted by: russell1 22 Apr 2010 9:17pm

Come on, who would throw out tomato sauce after it has been opened and in the fridge for 8 weeks? It lasts a lot longer than that - never had a problem.
