What it is

Non-GMO mayonnaise is a condiment made without genetically modified organisms. It is typically made from oil, egg yolk, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings, with the oil and egg yolk emulsified to create a stable, creamy texture. The 'non-GMO' label indicates that the ingredients used, such as soybean or canola oil, have not been genetically engineered.

Why it's used

Mayonnaise is primarily used as a spread or condiment in sandwiches and salads, and as a base for dressings and dips. Its high fat content and emulsifying properties contribute to a rich flavor and smooth texture in a variety of prepared foods.

Health notes

Mayonnaise is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily composed of fat and calories. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various components of mayonnaise, such as fats and acids. Evidence does not link mayonnaise consumption at typical levels to adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Mayonnaise typically contains egg, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. Some varieties may also contain soy or other allergens depending on the specific ingredients used.
