[quote=Anonymous]You guys are always so good at this game, so here's another one:

I bought a big jug of soy sauce from Costco.  A really, really big jug.  Came home to discover that the inner seal (not the screw-on lid, but the foil seal underneath) was not fully sealed.  In fact, it was only sealed about 3/4 of the way around, and soy sauce would leak out if the carton was tipped over.

I always refrigerate my soy sauce after opening a container, but I know it's actually supposed to be good at room temp for a long time.  I just don't know how long "a long time" really is, compared to how long that container sat in a warehouse, or what the storage conditions were like.  Also don't know how concerned I should be about contamination.

If it were a regular grocery store bottle, I'd toss it and go get a new one, just to be safe.  But it seems wasteful to throw out that much soy sauce if I don't need to, and it'll be a while before I go back to Costco.

Sooooo.... should I keep it or toss it?  WWYD?[/quote]
