Refrigeration ensures that commercial sauces and condiments stay fresh for a longer period of time. Shelf-stable commercial salsa 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.
Storage times are the USDA FoodKeeper guidance for quality and safety, not a guarantee; a printed use-by date on the package comes first. Source: USDA FSIS FoodKeeper (CC0), fetched 2026-10-27, category Condiments, Sauces & Canned Goods.
