Ingredients & Storage
What is the shelf life of Frank's RedHot® hot sauce?
Quality, freshness and flavor are top priorities at Frank's RedHot®. The date stamped on shoulder or the bottom of the bottle is the date we recommend that you use the product by to assure the product's optimum flavor, freshness and consistent quality. The product will generally maintain good flavor quality for a few weeks after that date if refrigerated.

The recommended shelf life from the date of manufacture if unopened is 24 months.
