it doesnt because it has expired is this a trick question?

NOTE: Update by new author: Hellmann's Mayo shows a "Best if used by" date. Not an expiration date. Opened and then closed and then refrigerated jars/packages last a very long time. Some people like to go by expiration dates or best if used by dates but I prefer the old fashioned method.

Open the container; Smell the product; View the product; Taste a small sample; If all are good then it's most likely safe to consume.

In fact, I just had some Hellmann's Mayo from an Easy Out squeeze container that said "Best if Used By: SEP0913" and today is OCT0714!

I opened the container and smelled it. Smelled like normal mayo. I looked at it. It didn't look watery or dark; it looked normal. I squeezed a small amount out onto my finger; felt like normal mayo consistency; tasted it; tasted absolutely fine.

I added it to my tuna fish and had a lovely lunch. :-)

If something doesn't pass all of the above tests, you may wish to discard it.

How long is mayonnaise good for when its refrigerated and opened after the expiration date?

Opened mayonnaise can typically last for about 2 to 3 months in the refrigerator after the expiration date, as long as it has been stored properly and shows no signs of spoilage, such as off odors or changes in texture. It's important to check for any visible signs of mold or unusual separation before use. Always use a clean utensil to avoid contamination. If in doubt, it's best to err on the side of caution and discard it.
