Miracle Whip

An unopened jar of Miracle Whip can generally last for several months when stored in a hot car, but heat can affect its quality. While it may not spoil immediately, the high temperatures can compromise its flavor and texture. It's best to keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid exposing it to extreme heat for extended periods. If you suspect it has been in the heat for too long, it's safer to discard it.

Yes, Kraft Miracle Whip is gluten-free. The ingredients used in Miracle Whip do not contain gluten, and the product is made in facilities that adhere to gluten-free standards. However, it's always a good idea to check the packaging for the most current information and potential cross-contamination warnings.

Yes, Miracle Whip can spoil if exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period. Heat can accelerate the degradation of its ingredients, leading to changes in flavor and texture, as well as potential growth of harmful bacteria. It's best to store Miracle Whip in a cool, dark place and refrigerate it after opening to maintain its quality and safety.

A sealed container of miracle whip will not spoil for a very long time.

Check the "best before date" on the jar.

Refrigerators conserve cold fairly well. If the refrigerator remained closed during the outage, then the contents of the refrigerator stay cold.

My opinion is that if you lost electric for less than 6 hours a closed refrigerator will keep food cold and in good condition. A refrigerator with a fully loaded freezer on top may last longer.

Your food will keep 24 to 48 hours, provided that you open the refrigerator and freezer door as little as possible. However, once the food in your freezer has thawed you should eat it as soon as possible, and avoid refreezing it.

Try to leave the refrigerator or freezer doors closed during a power outage. If the doors remain closed, refrigerated food can stay cool for about six to nine hours. Frozen food can remain safe for up to 24 hours.

Gluten is a protein that can cause extreme symptoms and sometimes severe medical complications in people with Celiac (aka Coeliac) Disease and those with other sensitivities to gluten. Always check the product label before using new products if your health care professional or dietician has recommended avoidance of this protein in your diet. If one of the ingredients listed on the label is wheat, rye, or barley, or flours made from them and other processed forms of these grains, you can assume that there is gluten present since these grains are the most common sources in the US diet for glutens.

Whole oats have a lower gluten content than wheat, so some people are able to eat them, if whole and from a known source that does not also process other higher gluten content grains. Unless your dietician or health care professional has said it is okay to use these, then oats should also be avoided since they do have some gluten content.

Other common ingredients that contain gluten are: Spelt, Kamut, and Farina and non-distilled vinegars. However, there are still other ingredients and sources containing gluten that may or may not be printed on the label. The best method to be sure to avoid foods containing glutens is to contact the manufacturer and ask if that product could have gluten or traces of gluten. Some products are labeled to warn about gluten content, but many aren't.

Even though there may not be wheat, rye, or barley ingredients in a product, traces of gluten large enough to produce problems can still be present. For example, in oat meal products even for patients who are allowed to eat them, there may be other higher content gluten residue in the product. The box of plain rolled oats will most likely not list the other grains or gluten as ingredients. Common sense would lead you to believe there would not be any wheat, rye, or barley in a box of otherwise unprocessed whole rolled oats. However, if the mill or packaging plant where the oats were rolled or boxed or otherwise handled also works with products containing wheat, rye, barley or other high gluten products, there can be enough gluten residue passed to the oats to cause problems in some people, especially toddlers and younger children.

The contact information for manufacturer questions is usually on the product label. Using that toll free phone number or visiting the customer service web site should get you to a person who can give you the definitive answer for that specific product.

To get to the specific gluten information at the Kraft web page, first use the link at the links section below. Once at that site, you can search for "gluten" in the search box.

The following excerpt is among the information Kraft gives on their web pages about gluten in Kraft products:

" ...it has been a long standing policy for all Kraft and Nabisco products to list ingredients that contain gluten on the ingredient statement. These items will be listed using commonly known terms such as Wheat, Barley, Oats or Rye. For other ingredients that contain gluten, the grain source will be declared in parenthesis after the ingredient name. For example, if the ingredient "natural flavor" contains a gluten source, the label would read: natural flavor (contains rye). Other ingredients that contain gluten are: Triticale, Spelt, Kamut, Mir or Farina (also known as Far or Farro)."

Kraft further explains that the vinegars they use in their products are distilled and therefore gluten has been removed through that process.

If you have more questions about gluten in your diet, consult your doctor or a registered dietician.

You cannot heat up miracle whip or any other type of mayo in any way because I tried to heat up my whopper from burger king and my mom told me not to warm it up because it tasted bad if heated.

You can cook with mayo or miracle whip, but not in a slow cooker. The slow cooker takes way too long to get to a safe temperature and that lets the mayo develop bacteria.

Homemade salad isn't going to be very good after a few days, but it might not cause foodborne illness. That would depend upon what was on the other ingredients and how the salad was handled. See Related Links.

Light Miracle Whip does contain a small amount of HFCS - less than 1 g per serving. However, I was just in the store the other day and regular Miracle Whip has a new recipe - now with NO High Fructose Corn Syrup. About time... I was so excited. Miracle Whip isn't bad for you either. It has something like 1/2 the fat and calories as real mayo.

I would think mayonnaise came along before Miracle Whip because mayo -- before it was available commercially -- was a sauce made at home. People prided themselves on the quality of their homemade mayonnaise. I did a quickie Internet search on the history of mayo and read that it goes back at least 200 years. French origin.

Neither is a good diet food, both are very high in fat content. Instead you may want to try mustard which has almost no calories per serving. Honey mustard and sweet mustards have sugar added and do have high calorie counts, similar to ketchup in comparison.

If its not made with egg it should be safe...raw eggs go into mayo

I am not sure about animal fat,but Miracle Whup contains eggs.

Yes, Miracle Whip does contain some vinegar.

You can eat it 30 days after the expiration date is. No more!!

It could if it was contaminated with a bacteria or fungus and you applied it to your skin. It would be more likely that the oil in the miracle whip clogged your pores giving you acne.

Is miracle whip a trigger for gout

Freezing such salads would not make them unsafe, if they were safe beforehand. BUT, the emulsion of the Miracle Whip will probably break down and you'd have a watery mess - especially if the salad contains some raw veggie ingredients like onions and celery.

No, real mayonnaise is better. http://lacetoleather.com/ridlice.html

None - it is not part of the standard recipe.

Sometimes my miracle whip is runny! I don't eat it and go get some more. It could be dangerous for you to eat not knowing if it bad or not. If it occurs every time you have miracle whip I suggest going to the store you got it from and ask to speak tobthe manager and get your money back:)
