I have several bottles of condiments (Ketchup, Mustard, Caesar Dressing) that have never been opened, but their expiration dates are like 2005, 2006. Can they still be used? I know it's safer than sorry, but I hate wasting them if they are still usable.
Food Condiments WAY over their expiration date

If you don't want to be wasteful, ask a friend who has an active compost if she wants them. It will depend on the type of composting she does whether or not she can take them.
i've used some stuff that's way over it's expiration date but 2005 might be a little too old even for me! ketchup usually goes bad about 6 months after it's expiration date. you can just taste a tiny tiny bit and tell if it's nasty.
mustard is probably one thing that i've kept the longest basically just because i used it for cooking purposes. if the consistency and texture of something has changed... then it's definitely time to toss it out.

OMG LOL My guess is they have the expiration dates for a reason. Just buy a new bottle, condiments are cheap and not worth risking illness.
