Sesame oil will expire and then go bad. Of course, any kind of food changes over time, especially if it's been opened. Normal sesame oil also has a pleasant smell, while out-of-date sesame oil can smell like chili oil because harmful aflatoxin appears, which can cause nausea and vomiting after consumption.

Usually, manufacturers, like JOLION Foods, will print the production date and shelf life on packaging bottles, and it’s convenient for customers to check the label before using it.

How long does sesame oil last?

Sesame oil stored at room temperature usually expires after 12 months, while sesame oil stored in cold storage usually expires after 18 months.

2. Not use the rubber plug: The rubber stopper will break the smell of the sesame oil after a time. When using the rubber stopper, you should use plastic to isolate its outside.

3. Use petite bottles: The smaller the bottle, the less air that can fit inside it. In a short period, you can use plastic bottles to store it.
