While its high acidity and fat content help preserve it, improper storage can lead to spoilage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Oxidation:<\/strong> Once you open the jar and it\u2019s exposed to air, it can cause ingredients to break down and change flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Bacterial Growth:<\/strong> If contaminated (e.g., using a dirty spoon), bacteria can multiply, leading to spoilage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Moisture Exposure:<\/strong> Excess moisture can dilute preservatives, making the mayo more susceptible to mold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Temperature Fluctuations:<\/strong> Leaving mayo out for extended periods can speed up spoilage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Ingredients_in_Mayo_Go_Bad\"\/>Which Ingredients in Mayo Go Bad?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, egg yolks, vinegar (sometimes lemon juice), and seasonings, but some ingredients spoil faster than others. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Egg_Yolks\"\/>1. Egg Yolks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Raw egg yolks in homemade mayo are highly perishable and can harbor Salmonella if not refrigerated.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Pasteurized eggs in store-bought mayo last longer but still degrade.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Oil\"\/>2. Oil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Oils can turn rancid because of oxidation, especially if exposed to air or heat.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Vegetable oils (like soybean or canola) last longer than olive oil, which has a shorter shelf life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You can recognize this because some rancid oils become bitter and may also have an old waxy smell and\/or taste.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Vinegar_Lemon_Juice\"\/>3. Vinegar &amp; Lemon Juice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">These acidic ingredients help preserve mayo (or any food) by slowing bacterial growth.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">However, if diluted (e.g., mixed with other ingredients), their preservative effect weakens.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Preservatives_Store-Bought_Mayo_Only\"\/>4. Preservatives (Store-Bought Mayo Only)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Calcium disodium EDTA and potassium sorbate extend shelf life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If mayo is exposed to moisture or heat, preservatives may lose effectiveness.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Added_Ingredients_Flavored_Mayo\"\/>5. Added Ingredients (Flavored Mayo)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Garlic, herbs, and spices can introduce moisture, increasing spoilage risk.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Dairy-based mayo (like ranch-style) spoils faster than traditional mayo.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Proper storage reduces oxidation and bacterial growth, ensuring mayo stays fresh longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Prevent_Mayo_from_Spoiling\"\/>How to Prevent Mayo from Spoiling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Store in an airtight container<\/strong> to limit air exposure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size:
