Why not get like the European Union too? After all, they would say that Hellmanns 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.
What about the Mayo clinic???
let us not overlook The Mayo Clinic
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.
They also have "mayo" in their web address. So there.
Eggs?

“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 Mayonnaise is the theme song of the city of Mayo in Florida. The tune comes from some old French marching song.
The guy who started this is a lib. I didn’t know and I just bought some at Costco. We will try it but I won’t be buying any more.

“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?”
How about “Almost Mayo”?
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.
