The admonition to 'refrigerate after opening' is often offered under the guise
of 'better safe than sorry', rather than a strict necessity. As a sauce maker I
too, put that on the label just as a good hygenic precaution. I know the
temperature of someones' refirgerator but not someones' kitchen cabinet.
Most (not 'all') sauces ARE plenty stable enough to be left out though they
might discolor a bit. I routinely keep my sauces (and others) out of
refrigeration for years without the first bit of trouble. Just to be safe
though, I'm going to tell you to refrigerate given this litigiuos society. In
the fire service we say 'you can never be wrong for calling, you can only be
wrong for not calling'.
