yeah, it`ll be fine, the dates are a Guide, the only thing that WILL happen given Enough time is that the taste and aroma will alter, and so it`ll not be the same product as they want to sell it as.

There is so much salt in soy sauce that nothing will grow in it. The flavors may fade after the expiration date but you need not worry about getting sick from illness causing microbes.

I'm with Lulu - I look at the year it expired - not the month!!
If anything looks/tastes/smells obvioiusly different to the way it started out life, then I dump it. Likewise if it starts to make "noise" or spontaneously starts moving, I tend to assume it may have "passed"!!LOL

I think you could probably use soy sauce as an antibacterial in survival situations.....would hurt like **** though. Does Bactine ever go bad?

I didn't even know there was an expiration date on soy sauce 
I don't use it often, maybe a few times a year, but I'll betcha my bottle is at least 10 years old
I don't know if it makes a difference that I only use it as an ingredient when cooking food, not as a condiment on top of already cooked food.
One item I have thrown out though is tobasco sauce, when it changes colors from reddish to brownish.
OK, I just looked. Apparently I got my bottle of soy sauce before they started putting expiration dates on them. I'll bet it's more than likely 20 years old.... or older
