There's no legal shelf life The FDA and USDA haven’t given them a shelf life. The things are sterile and wrapped in an impermeable barrier with no oxygen. As long as they’re whole, they’re good pretty much indefinitely.

I suppose that after four or five years they’ll manage to go rancid (especially fatty mayonnaise), but ketchup and mustard will probably go on for decades. Centuries, maybe. The government figures that you’ll have used or forgotten them by then.

I suppose I’d be a little leery of a Howard the Duck promotional packet of ketchup, but it’s almost certainly perfectly safe. The FDA and USDA haven’t given them a shelf life.

Yes I assume you are talking about the kind that come in foil packets that you get at a restaurant. The answer is yes. They get shipped in a large box and the expiration date is marked on the box.

For items like ketchup, mustard, mayo and relish the expiration date is 5-7 years. Jelly which comes in those little plastic tubs that you peel the top off is good for 3 years. Half and half creamers expire in 2 months and must be refrigerated.

For sugar which comes in those paper packets the expiration is 3 years. They credit the long shelf life due to being vacuum packed. I hope this answers your question.
