no you don't have to refrigerate the jelly. Mostly the companies that make the jelly say that you have to refrigerate it because if someone were to get food sick from something (anything, not even the jelly) then its likely in this day-n-age of sueing that the jelly company will be sued because they didnt promote "good health" (much like mcdonalds having to put the caution warning that their hot coffee can burn because some manipulative woman in the early 90s sued McDonald for burning herself while drinking the coffee and "not knowing that it would burn". The real reason that you don't have to refrigerate jelly after opening it is because there is a high level of sugar (obviously) and when bacteria get in it (and they get in anything regardless if its refrigerated or not) they die because they lose water from their cells as the water goes to the sugar to satisfy homeostatis (an equillibrium for water concentration). When they lose enough water they shrivel up and die. This is something that the average microbiology student should know but they tend to still refridge it out of habit, much like refrigerating butter (you also don't have to refrigerate this, LOL! for real!)

∙ 10y agoThere is not an absolute yes or no to your question. If you purchase commercially made jelly, imost have preservatives and can kept unrefrigerated after opening. If you are referring to homemade canned jelly, there are no preservatives and based upon personal experience it will start to get runny and develop mold if left unrefrigerated.
