Pop-Tarts
One of the reasons why Pop-Tarts do not need to be refrigerated is because they are baked goods that have been packaged in a way to ensure their freshness. The packaging of Pop-Tarts acts as a barrier, protecting them from air and moisture. This means that even if you don’t eat them right away, they will still retain their taste and texture.
Another reason why refrigeration isn’t necessary for Pop-Tarts is because of their low water content. Water is often a breeding ground for bacteria, which is why perishable items like milk or raw meat need to be kept cold.
