On the list of First World concerns…

Say you have a jar of salsa that’s been in your cabinet for say, several years…you’re about to toss it but give it one last try and, you get it open. It smells normal. Do you still close it back up and throw it away, or get out the tortilla chips, throw caution to the winds ?

Update: I poured it out, jar went into the recycling.

If it smelled okay, I'd taste a little of it. If it tasted fine, I'd go ahead and use it before my tortilla chips got stale.
@Piper I have fresh ingredients to make more salsa (delivered yesterday) so the chips won’t get to go stale. 😁

@bijouxbroussard That's good. Mine probably would be, though. Your post reminded me of an opened bag of Fritos "flavor twists" in my pantry, that I thought I'd bought maybe last year. The best by date is May 2019. I did go ahead and discard those...without even tasting one. 😅
