Mustard is designed to last for years without being stored in the refrigerator
If you’ve ever looked at the back of a mustard sauce bottle, you might have noticed that there is no expiry date. Sure, there’s a use-by date, but that’s the only date that’s often available to customers. That’s because it will take years and years for mustard to go off, making preserving the condiment a lot easier.
The product is created to be immune to bacteria, meaning it should never spoil. This means you don’t have to keep it in the fridge and can keep it in your pantry instead. It’s natural for mustard to become a little dry, but this doesn’t mean it’s gone bad. Simply add a little vinegar to bring things back to life.
