8 condiments you should never keep back in the refrigerator once opened

Vinegar is one of the easiest condiments to store, owing to its natural acidity, which inhibits the growth of both bacteria and mould. It is thus considered ‘self-preserving,’ and its shelf life is virtually indefinite. Regardless of the type of vinegar (for example: white distilled, apple cider, balsamic, or rice wine), they should all be stored in an area protected from light (i.e., dark cupboards). While vinegar may sometimes develop minor changes in appearance (e.g. cloudiness or sediment), these changes do not degrade the quality or safety of consuming the product.
