Proper hygiene prevents illnesses. A watery liquid will begin to separate on ketchup. It will turn to dark maroon instead of bright red. If either of these happen , it should go. It is good for 1 year past the printed date because the date stamped is already 15 months from the production date. Chicken broth will have a sour smell , you will see sentiment in the bottom or it may appear cloudy. Steak sauce has the same qualities. It will develop an odor, mold sometimes appears, flavor or appearance chances. But I say why take the chance. Is it worth getting sick over because you want a few more months out of it? Throw it out and go to the $1 store and buy a small bottle
