| Pantry — general — note only | No numeric time specifiedRefrigeration ensures that commercial sauces and condiments stay fresh for a longer period of time. Shelf-stable commercial mustard 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. |
| Pantry — from purchase | 1–2 years |
| Refrigerator — after opening | 1 year |
Important: FoodKeeper supplies general storage guidance, not a promise that food is safe until a calculated date. The actual temperature, handling, packaging use-by dates and possible recalls may override any interval. Freezer periods generally concern best quality.
