Unopened tomato ketchup should be stored in a cool, dark pantry or cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat. Once opened, it's best to refrigerate ketchup to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. Properly refrigerated, opened ketchup can last for several months. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use.
