Pudding

Pudding, with its creamy and silky texture, is a beloved dessert enjoyed by many. However, some people may be unsure whether it needs to be refrigerated or not. The good news is that most store-bought puddings do not need to be refrigerated until they are opened.
One of the reasons pudding does not require immediate refrigeration is due to its ingredients. Most puddings contain milk as their primary ingredient but are also thickened with cornstarch or gelatin. These components act as stabilizers and prevent spoilage at room temperature for a certain period.
