This is really pathetic. Invoking federal regulations?

Why not get like the European Union too? After all, they would say that Hellmann’s cannot use the word “Mayonnaise” because that would mean it would have to originate in Mahón, Spain (from salsa mahonesa). (And Mayo is a county in Ireland, besides.)

From my perspective, there isn’t a product that could steal my share of mayonnaise pie away from Hellman’s Mayonnaise. No question about it for me.

I’ve tried the Beyond Eggs product; you can’t tell the difference at least in baked goods. I suspect Just Mayo is just as good which is why Hellmann’s is so threatened.

I’ve heard that McDonald’s calls certain drinks “shakes” and not “milkshakes” because they don’t contain enough milk to be considered milkshakes per government regulations.

This whole thing sounds crazy. Just saying, I’m not surprised if there are official definitions as to what is in mayonnaise.

Ask Debbie Wasserman-Schulz about this. She should know.

“That pork chop you’re eating? Yeah it’s made from vegetables.”

I would have been deceived.

How is this different?

Mayonnaise is made from eggs, oil, and vinegar. Mayo without eggs is not mayo. Call it vegannaise, but don’t call it mayo.

Hellman’s does not own the word ‘mayonnaise’ so what’s their beef? Seems a little predatory to me. Yes, their mayo is very good, it’s also very pricey, and I’d bet Just Mayo is, too. For my money, Aldi’s Berman’s label mayo is just as tasty at half the price, $ 2/jar. And I’ve made mayo with an egg white, canola oil and the electric mixer, it ain’t rocket science...

The word used is "mayo," not "mayonnaise." Mayo is truncated mayonaise. Removing the egg truncates the mayonnaise. I see no problem here.

The Mayonnaise is the theme song of the city of Mayo in Florida. The tune comes from some old French marching song.

Amazing what lengths corporations will go to for "preservation of market share". Yet these same moguls of industry are stone cold silent regarding American women being given a license by the Supreme Court to practice infanticide, illegal aliens swamping the population, a broken border with guards who aid and abet the invasion by order of the Department of Justice, and a Kenyan usurper in the White Hut tearing the country down around us. Mayonnaise? That's what really matters! What a screwed up country this is. (Last sentence modified for general audience consumption.)

“federal regulators and dictionaries define mayonnaise as a spread that contains eggs”

Gosh, but the plaintiff calls their product “Mayo”. What does the dictionary and federal regs say about what’s in “Mayo”?

What about Whitman Mayo, A.K.A. “Grady” from “Sanford and Son?”

Unless it is made from rapeseed oil, commercial “mayonnaise” is merely soybean oil emulsified with a little bit of egg, vinegar, and lemon juice.

Soybean oil is unfit for human consumption, period.

Even the products they market and LABEL as “Olive Oil” is a scam... The first ingredient is water, second is soybean oil, and third is olive oil.

The best mayonnaise is homemade... it is not difficult to do.
