Question

My sister is always telling me to put it in the fridge although like eggs it is sold on the shelf.

Answer 1

Oh, yes, of course. Once the jar has been opened, it must be kept in the fridge.

Answer 2

Yes it should only be kept in the fridge ONCE IT IS OPENED and consumed within however many weeks it says on the label.

It says this on the label of most things, ketchup, brown sauce etc but lots of people don't keep them in the fridge, I do but my boyfriends family doesn't!

Answer 3

Definately to be stored in the fridge once opened (and it has quite a short life).

Answer 4

After opened it should be placed in the fridge.  When it is still factory sealed it can stay on the shelf, but only to a certain date of course.

Answer 5

Yes, if it has been opened.

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

On the shelf, it is in a sealed container.  Once opened, it has oxygen available to it and it must be refrigerated to prevent bacterial growth.

Refrigerate after opening.

Answer 14

Eggs are sold on the shelf but they aren't cracked open, are they?  Read the label.

Answer 15

Yes, like almost everyone said before me. :-)

Answer 16

Once its open, then you should store it in the fridge

Answer 17

Once it's opened, definately in the fridge... Safe on shelf until the seal is broke..

Answer 18

Once it is opened it should be stored in the fridge.  It is a bit like, say, tinned tuna.  You would not leave that out when it is opened, but unopened it is fine.  Air causes oxidisation and other nasty things.

Answer 19

Once opened, in the fridge.

Answer 20

Once the jar has been opened it should be stored in the fridge.

Answer 21

once its been opened yes :-)

Answer 22

Yes. Try this experiment. Put some mayo in a jar and leave it out on the counter. After 48 hours, compare the mayo in the refridgerator to the one left out on the counter. Just based on appearance, which mayo looks more appetizing? Throw out the mayo you left out on the counter.  

Answer 23

If you cracked open an egg, would you store it on your shelf?

Answer 24

ofocz

Answer 25

once opened it needs fridge, just like most things...

Answer 26

In the shop it is sealed but once it is open the shelf life decreases so it has to be stored in a cool dark place like a fridge otherwise it won't keep.
