What ends it. Unopened it keeps for a long time. The clock that matters starts when you open it. How to make it last longer

Storage

Cool, dark. Sugar and vinegar as much as tomato, which is why it keeps and why a spoonful rescues a flat stew. USDA FoodKeeper is explicit that shelf- stable ketchup is safe at room temperature after opening, and that the label advice to refrigerate is about quality rather than safety.
