Packets of mayonnaise are generally designed to be kept at room temperature, unless the label reads "keep refrigerated". The shelf life of the packets is only a couple months. Refrigeration may help extend the shelf life.

Until it separates, dries out or it turns color. Mayonnaise, is oil and vinegar and has a fairly stable shelf life when refrigerated. If it gets contaminated it will usually separate, or change color. If it does throw it out, don't even open the jar, some bacteria can spread through the air, plus it really stinks ( I've made that mistake )

Mayonnaise turns yellowish when it dries out.
