What happens to White Vinegar after it expires?

White vinegar has an almost indefinite shelf life due to its high acidity, which prevents bacterial growth. However, after its expiration date, you may notice minor changes:

  • Slightly Weakened Acidity: Over time, the acidity may decrease slightly, making it less effective for pickling or cleaning.
  • Cloudiness or Sediment: Some natural sediment or cloudiness may form, but this doesn’t mean it’s unsafe. You can filter it out if needed.
  • Change in Smell: The vinegar may develop a milder aroma, but it remains usable for most purposes.

Expired white vinegar is still safe to use for cleaning and many cooking applications unless it has been contaminated.
