Store it right
- Refrigerate immediately after opening.
- Wipe the rim before resealing so mold can't take hold.
Signs it has gone off
- Mold ring under the lid.
- Bubbling or a hissing pop on opening.
- Faded color with a sour smell.
Never taste food to test it — a small bite is enough to make you ill.
