Refrigerate after opening "RAO"

It's everywhere.

I read labels cause when I sail I do (mainly) without refrigeration. Today at Trader Joe's I noticed that some of the labels that I always considered safe...mustards, chili sauce, olives etc have "RAO". Granted, some are put up with no preservatives but...frickin brined olives???

Is this just corporate America covering their a** or should I be vigilant?

It is a conundrum of sorts. For example, spiced green beans in vinegar are stable products. Ahem, except when refrigerated something coagulates and makes a cheesey looking substance appear. Warm em up they're fine.
What to do, what to do??

Use yer knowledge of food and you'll be fine. Simply read what's in there. :lol:

btw, I don't know how they do it but mayo keeps for years open and refrigerated. Shows you how much we use.

RAO is the same as LMAO but the Chinese don't take responsibility for anything so, they drop the "my". And, of course, they pronounce the L as an R.
It's all so very simple.

If the mustard contains Prestone, it's OK not to refrigerate. Most made-in-China condiments contain this food group element.
