Ketchup

I say that even thought the label says "best by 2016" there are so many preservatives (read: salt) that they won't spoil. What do you think?
The items you have listed are all sold non refrigerated and are safe past the best by date. They may not taste as good because of degradation and oxidation so would toss them for flavor reasons.
