Q: Do French's® Mustards need to be refrigerated?
A: Dijon & horseradish mustard will lose their distinct flavors if not refrigerated, so we encourage refrigerating both. For all other mustards, refrigeration will help maintain flavor; however, it is not necessary to refrigerate if you prefer to consume your mustard at room temperature. There are no ingredients in mustard that spoil. "Refrigerate After Opening" is not required for food safety--we only recommended you do so to maintain optimal product flavor.
Q: What is the shelf life of French's® Mustard?
A: Quality, freshness, and flavor are top priorities at French's®. You may have noticed that we recently changed to a "Best When Used By Date" coding system on our packaging. This is not an expiration date, however; the date stamped on the bottom of the bottle is the date by which we recommend that you use the product in order to ensure its optimal flavor, freshness, and quality. The product will generally maintain good flavor quality for two to three months after that date, if refrigerated. While refrigeration will help maintain flavor, it's not necessary to refrigerate if you prefer to consume your mustard at room temperature.
If your French's® product does not have a "Best When Used By Date," look for the Julian date production code on the bottle. This code consists of a letter followed by a five-digit number. The letter represents the manufacturing location, the first two numbers represent the year the mustard was produced and the final three numbers represent the day of the year: this would be a number from 001 - 365. The recommended shelf life from the date of manufacture of French's® Mustard is twelve months in a squeeze bottle, eighteen months in glass, and six months in a packet.
Q: What are the ingredients in French's® Mustard?
A: All French's® Mustards use only the finest-quality ingredients to ensure the best possible flavor. French's® uses Number 1 grade mustard seed as the base for all the mustards in the French's® range. The top quality seed is then mixed with a range of all-natural spices and seasonings to create that great taste that America loves.
Q: Are French's® Mustards gluten free?
A: Yes, they are gluten free.
