Storage tips
- Refrigeration ensures that commercial sauces and condiments stay fresh for a longer period of time. Shelf-stable commercial mayonnaise is safe when stored at room temperature after opening. Quality, not safety, is the reason the labels on these products suggest that they be refrigerated after opening.
Times are for best quality when stored at safe temperatures, from the USDA FSIS FoodKeeper. Food kept frozen at 0°F stays safe indefinitely; the freezer time is for quality. Throw out cans that are bulging, leaking or badly dented.
