All of the sauces will be delivered with over 12 months and for mayonnaise it will be at least 6 months.

You can store them in the cupboard until opening and then when opened keep in the fridge.

Once opened we recommend using the ketchup, bbq and hot sauces within 3 months. The mayonnaise within 2 months and the simmer sauces within 3 days (you normally use the whole jar in one go).

There are a lot of beliefs, myths and misinformation when it comes to ingredients and nutrition. Our founders Pam and James both studied Food Science at University and worked in the food industry before starting Sauce Shop. They're well versed at separating fact and fiction. They started Sauce Shop to avoid unnecessary ingredients.

With seed oils, the scientific evidence does not support that seed oils are harmful. The only scientific basis for them being harmful is if they are repeatedly heated and cooled over and over which would happen in a restaurant fryer. Most of this misinsformation comes from individuals or companies who profit from people avoiding seed oils.

There is fearmongering around them being bleached - but this is actually a process that filters them using clay, not household bleach as we know it. Some people warn of hexane being used in the process however this is almost all removed and it's been shown that we breathe in up to 20x more hexane from petrol fumes than is left over in seed oils.

We realise we are also biased so please try Googling 'are seed oils harmful', find the unbiased info and don't believe everything you read or hear on the internet.

With sugar, we believe moderation is key. Over indulgence in sugary treats, cakes, doughnuts etc. could contribute to an overweight issue, which is more likely to lead to further health issues, however this does not mean all added sugar needs to be avoided. There's a myth that sugar feeds cancer and this is disproven on the Cancer Research website. Again, check your sources of information.
