Food safety: those little single serving packs of mayo, mustard, etc. I have some that are unopened, BUT ...?

I left them in my coat pocket and hung it up for a week at room temperature. Do the packets need to be kept refrigerated before opening or are they safe to use as long as they are unopened?

Please, no 'I think so', 'I guess so', etc. Please read the question! Don't just say 'Throw them out to be on the safe side'. I want to KNOW, that's why I'm asking.

Thank you for paying attention! I appreciate the effort you have put in to your answer.

If you are a food service professional and use this type of service, please say so. If you manufacture or distribute single servings of this type, please let me know.

    I worked at fast food/regular restaurants, and we keep those in dry storage and out. You're good.

    Mayo products need to be refrigerated. They've been in your car and not in a refrigerator. Throw them away please.
