Not all condiments actually go bad when they expire though. I’m convinced somewhere there’s perfectly edible ketchup from the dinosaurs era somewhere.

That sounds like an area where someone can sell a device that scans for toxins/mold/etc. Put a sample, if the machine says "Bad" then throw away, if it says "OK", then hope it's not an Elizabeth Holmes-esque shithousery...

No AI needed though, so, not sexy...

Especially when kept in a fridge, since ketchup is shelf stable. In the fridge it should go well past the pull date.
