How long can honey mayonnaise be stored

Honey mayonnaise can usually be stored for 3-5 days under refrigeration conditions, and the actual storage time is affected by factors such as the freshness of the raw materials, production hygiene conditions, and sealing degree. The main ingredients of honey mayonnaise are raw egg yolk and honey, which can easily breed bacteria without preservatives added. If pasteurized egg yolks are used, containers and tools are strictly disinfected during the production process, and sealed and refrigerated below 4 ℃, the storage time can be close to 5 days. Use clean utensils every time to avoid cross contamination. When the texture becomes thin, layered or sour, it should be discarded immediately. If stored at room temperature or in poorly sealed containers, honey mayonnaise may spoil within 1-2 days. The high temperature environment in summer can accelerate microbial reproduction, and even refrigeration may shorten it to 2-3 days. Adding acidic ingredients such as lemon juice can slightly extend the shelf life, but it cannot replace refrigeration storage. Commercial pre packaged products can have a shelf life of several months due to the presence of food additives, but they still need to be handled according to the above principles after opening.

Homemade honey mayonnaise is recommended for immediate consumption. If stored for a long time, it should be packaged and frozen separately. After thawing, it should be thoroughly stirred to restore its texture. When pairing with bread or salad, small portions can be pre packaged to reduce repeated use. Special groups such as pregnant women and infants should avoid consuming homemade sauces stored for more than 24 hours, and commercial products should strictly check the shelf life label.
