The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Your question is answered, but I just wanted to say; good on you for being food preservation conscious. When I first started dating my now wife she thought that you needed to store syrup in the refrigerator, and things like mayonnaise and unwaxed cheese could sit in the open. I had to go through her whole pantry ๐คข
My partner's family from Philippines grew up in a home without appliances like refrigerators, like many, many people in developing countries.
So while now they have every modern convenience, old habits die hard and stomachs seem to adapt to even the most adverse conditions of foodstuffs.
Not mine. I love their cooking but can only eat food that I've seen opened or cooked in front of me. They will legitimately leave meat dishes out on the table for two days or more and then simply "reheat" and consider it good to serve. The cabinets are full of things like mayo, cheese dips, opened gravies and open bottles of fruit juice.
I have had some of the very worst food poisoning in my life from inadvertently eating something there like chicken salad that I thought was fresh, but made with hard-boiled eggs that had been sitting on a counter in summer heat for several days that a "friend" brought over so they "wouldn't waste."
Of course I'm the only one that gets sick, so I'm the "special one" that everyone now thinks has some terminal illness and treats me like a hospice patient.
Yikes, I am not sure I have found a bottle like this that doesn't say, "Refrigerate after opening" on the side of it was required. I assumed it was a FDA rule, never looked into it.
Some syrups do require that, yes. The 100% natural syrups absolutely do require refrigeration, but the ones with preservatives do not need to be refrigerated. And just to be clear, I make a dish that requires syrup an estimated 2 weeks
Nah bruh https://www.foodandwine.com/news/which-condiments-need-be-refrigerated#:~:text=Mayonnaise&text=You%20may%20buy%20mayonnaise%20off,for%20more%20than%20eight%20hours.
I don't find this article compelling. Obviously it's not going to last as long unrefrigerated. That seems to be their criteria.
No. The criteria is to avoid food borne illnesses. Mayonnaise is made with eggs which is poultry. What happens to poultry if it sits out raw for too long you ask? Well, it starts develop this bacteria know as salmonella which can and will cause death or very serious illness. If you want to consume mayonnaise hot, then that's on you and best of luck, but I'm not going to let people I ACTUALLY care about do it
That makes a lot of sense and I see the error of my reasoning. You've convinced me.
