Store in stomach when opened.

Yes. They are sterilized when packaged and are ready to be colonized once open. If they were live fermented and still live, you’d be ok as long as they remain below the brine.

once opened, yeah, if you want to be safe.

It usually says this on the label, at least in my country it has a phrase like “Store refrigerated after opening and consume within a few days”.

If it has no instructions or you are unsure, I’d default to yes, put them in the fridge after opening.

I just treat them like regular pickles and refrigerate after opening.

Ideally, if you can and know when you will use it, refrigerate them already before you open any jar, this reduces the time window when bacteria or molds can grow.

Yes, you’ll want to fridge after opening. These and La Preferida’s are our go to brands.
