Why does mayo need refrigerated?

if an unopened plastic jar of mayonnaise can sit on the shelf of a store for weeks, and in your pantry for several days, then why does it need to be put in the fridge as soon as you open it?
why can't it just stay on the shelf or cabinet?

Because it tastes better cold

why don't you try it out and let us know.

The thought of a spoonful of warm mayonnaise makes me nauseous.

Big Fridge doesn’t want you to think like this!

Because you touch yourself.

Key word. Lots of sealed foods are ok on a shelf until opened. Once opened, they require refrigeration.

Because when you open it you expose it to contamination. Bacteria reproduce at room temp, but most don't reproduce well under refrigeration.

I prefer cold Mayo but truth be told. The bar I frequent keeps it room temp. I haven’t gotten sick yet.

Because it turns into brylcreem.

Because there's nothing like a sandwich with cold Duke's mayo on it.

One is air-sealed and the other isn’t. Just like those little packets of mayo that are left out.

Because if left out in the sun it becomes McDonald's special sauce

Mayo has eggs. It goes bad much more quickly than ketchup or mustard at room temp

Unsealed
Lots of stuff needs fridge to protect it from crud if not refrigerated.

You want salmonella, cause this is how you get salmonella.

It doesn't.
ETA: I do put in the fridge.
