I keep mustard and ketchup out at home, but not mayo. I guess I picked up Mom's habit of not trusting Mayo kept out too long.

I got sick from bad mayo once and that was enough. Now it stays in the refrigerator unless I'm using it.masprema said:I have lived without ever putting it in the fridge. I use a squeezeable plastic bottle, that way I don't get bits of bacteria inside. (Before squeezeable I made sure to use clean, dry utensil to scoop it out.)The mayo does separate in hot, very hot, weather. I don't use it after it separates.
I am not sure how safe it is, but I have never gotten sick.

Check out the baby food aisle - small packages of fruits, veggies and meat, no frig required. The texture may be lacking (unless your short on dentition) but it's an easy way to add flavor and nutrition to soups, sauces, etc.
