My mayo expired a week ago. Is it still okay to use?

If it's been refrigerated and looks/smells/tastes normal, it's probably safe for a week or two after expiration. But use caution and check for signs of spoilage.

Can I freeze mayonnaise to extend its shelf life?

Technically yes, but I don't recommend it. Mayo tends to separate when frozen, ruining the texture. It's safer to just buy a new jar.

How Long Does Mayonnaise Last After Opening?

Once you open a jar of mayo, it will last you up to 2 months. Before it’s opened, a jar of mayo can last in the refrigerator for about three months or until it expires.

I accidentally left my mayo out overnight. Can I still use it?

It depends how warm your kitchen was. The USDA says if mayo is kept above 50°F for more than 8 hours, it should be discarded. Personally, I'd toss it to be safe.
