FDA says pre-washed or ready-to-eat salad can be eaten without another wash. Clean handling and avoiding cross-contamination matter more than a second rinse.
Commercial ketchup is acidic and relatively stable, but refrigeration after opening is the best home routine for preserving color, flavor and quality.
Regular soy sauce is relatively stable after opening, but refrigeration preserves flavor. Less-sodium and blended sauces may specifically require refrigeration.

Cooked tilapia usually has a little more protein per 100 grams, while cooked cod is generally lower in calories and fat. Both are very lean, high-protein fish.
