Pretty sure they will say refriegerate affer opening somewhere on the bottle. They slap that on pickled or high acidity condiments that probably don’t need refridgeration for safety reasons.

I have no idea if it is necessary, if it extends the shelf life, or has no purpose other than making it more likely for people to throw it out if they don’t put it in the fridge.

I put it in the fridge if it says to assuming it might keep it fresh longer. But if I leave something pickled out overnight I will just put it back in the fridge.
