Do you have to refrigerate sweet chilli sauce?

Here's a general guideline:

* Unopened: Most sweet chili sauces are shelf-stable and do not require refrigeration until opened.

* Opened: Once opened, it's best to refrigerate sweet chili sauce. This is because the ingredients are exposed to air and can spoil more quickly.

Check the label: Always check the label of your specific sweet chili sauce for storage instructions. It will likely indicate whether or not refrigeration is necessary after opening.

How long does it last?

* Unopened: Shelf-stable sweet chili sauces can last for several months to a year.

* Opened: Refrigerated sweet chili sauce can last for several weeks.

Tip: To extend the shelf life of opened sweet chili sauce, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
