How long is the shelf life of soy sauce?

Generally speaking, the shelf life of bottled soy sauce will be about 6 months.

If we pack it in bottles, its shelf life is usually about half a year. If we pack it in plastic bags, its shelf life is usually about three months, but our preservation method must be appropriate. If not, its shelf life will be shortened. We'd better put it in a ventilated and dry place and avoid direct sunlight, so it can be preserved for a long time.
