The experts say ketchup doesn’t go in the fridge… and I just don’t agree with that

Last week, a website called “Which?” asked experts which condiments you should store in the fridge, and which ones you should keep in the cupboard.  The article says, quote, “There’s no need to keep ketchup in the fridge.  Not only does it contain vinegar, but tomatoes are naturally acidic, and this helps to preserve the product in room temperature conditions.”

This shocked many, including myself.  My ketchup ALWAYS goes into the fridge after opened.  One of the doctors in the article said people can keep it there, quote, “Because they prefer a chilled taste, but otherwise it doesn’t need to be refrigerated.”

My mind isn’t changed but will your ketchup be going into the kitchen cabinet from now on?
