Does yellow mustard need to be refridgerated after openning? I bought a gallon jug the other day and I can make room in the fridge if necessary but if it doesn't need to be refridgerated I could use the space, if you know what I mean.:biggrin:
 
What does the label say?

The label doesn't say anything. That was the first place I looked and is why I am asking.
There is nothing on the label, container, or lid that says anything about refridgerating after opening.
 
From French's website

Q: Do FRENCH'S® Mustards need to be refrigerated?
A: Dijon & Horseradish Mustard will lose heat and distinct flavor, so we encourage refrigeration for both. For all other mustards, refrigerating will help maintain its flavor; however, it is not necessary if you prefer your mustard to be room temperature. There are no ingredients in mustard that spoil. "Refrigerate After Opening" is not required for food safety. It is recommended to maintain optimal product flavor.
 
Usually mustard has vinager in it and that has a tendancy to kill just about any bacteria. I guess it is already opened?
