I've eaten condiments far older than that!
I generally ignore a BB date but question a use by date more closely, though. If it's a preserve under oil then I'd be wary but anything else I just smell whether it's in date or out of date. I've learned that, generally, ham and bacon are near indestructible, beef and milk keep far longer than the date and chicken and pork can be off way before the date's up.
