A Chick-fil-A team leader revealed on Reddit that, if you happen to grab a handful of sauce packets to save for later use, you can safely keep them for up to two months, but after that, you probably want to toss them in the trash. The Chick-fil-A leader also explained that there is no need to refrigerate these take-and-go packets. However, the blog We Want The Sauce claims that the packets can start to lose their quality after a couple of weeks, so while they are definitely safe to eat, just manage your taste buds’ expectations.
And what about the shelf life of those big 16 oz squeeze containers of Chick-fil-A sauce? We Want The Sauce shares that the large-format retail bottles have a “best-before-90-days” recommendation for freshness. While the sauce doesn’t necessarily need to be stored in the fridge, you will definitely prolong its taste if you do. How can you tell if your Chick-fil-A sauce has gone bad? The blog explains that you should look at the sauce’s thickness, examine its color, take a whiff, and even taste a little dab to determine if it is still good to use.
