Refrigerate Ketchup? by The Zook on 22 Aug, 2008 11:20

The age old question, perhaps... Do you?
I typically do, but prefer it warm... like restaurants who leave theirs on the table.
The bottle doesn't say 'refrigerate after opening' yet most people do... is it a preference or safety issue? -

One must have ketchup to know if he refrigerates it or not

Over here on our ketchup it does tell you to refrigerate it, so like the good girl that I am, I do!
Tyler.. our Heinz tomato ketchup lists the following ingredients..
"tomatoes, spirit vinegar, sugar, salt spice & herb extracts (contains celery) spice."
no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or thickeners.
Wonder why your ketchup has different ingredients?!!
I always tell my Mum off for not refrigerating her ketchup, sauces and pickles. Her reason being
that they never used to when I was a kid. -

Wow, I never noticed that it said to keep refrigerated.
Ours stays in the cupboard.
I don't often touch it, but my sons seem unable to eat anything without obliterating it with the stuff. I don't think a bottle lasts long enough for anything to go wrong with it.

Magma ... My mom went for MANY years and did not refrigerate it. Her logic ... we never did in the past (and they also had a smaller refrigerator at the time - circa 1953 Vintage). It's only been in the last 20 years she started chilling it ... and we all lived to be quite healthy

I can see my why my Mum thinks like that... . but I try to explain to her.. that when we were kids, ketchup
had a whole different load of 'extra' ingredients in it, which would have prolonged it's shelf life,
and that's what a lot of people don't seem to realise, we don't have all the crap in it that we did back then,
like a lot of things.
