2. Peanut butter and maple syrup (especially organic)
Even though you might think these delicious foods are safe wherever you put them, they’re actually part of the items that don’t belong in your pantry.
If the syrup isn’t refrigerated after opening, it can quickly develop undesirable mold or yeast. The stabilizers added to processed peanut butter brands make them safe to keep in the cupboard even though they contain nuts.
However, natural or organic peanut butter will separate the oil and start to go bad at room temperature because it only contains salt and peanuts. Keep your food safe! It will help you enjoy it for longer and save money at the same time!
