Default Taste best if used by date

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?
I’ve never thrown away any food because of the taste best if used by date , the only food that has an expiration date is baby food . I have a friend that was getting rid of a bunch of food, so I took it, it was great .
