Many people keep fast food sauce packets but don’t know how to store them. Since they come sealed and full of preservatives, you should be safe storing them outside of the fridge.
Still, it's best to keep these packets in a cool, dry place to prolong their shelf life. Since the fridge provides a consistently cool environment, it is probably the best choice.
In addition, since these sauces are meant to be used shortly after purchase, it's best to avoid keeping them for more than three months to ensure an optimal taste and texture.
