How long is an opened jar of tomato sauce good for?

It's good for at least a month with the top on. I've eaten tomato sauce in an opened can that was in my fridge for a week and a half and it was still alright. And to all; you cannot get sick from eating food that has been left in a can.

Yes, that is specific to home-canned foods. Quite different.

No, it's actually not. That's why you don't buy bloated or dented cans at the store, and food can also corrode the can causing a contamination.
