What it is
Vegan spicy mayo is a plant-based condiment that mimics the taste and texture of traditional mayonnaise. It is typically made by emulsifying oil, a plant-based milk (like soy or aquafaba), vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. Spices and chili extracts are added to give it a spicy flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use vegan spicy mayo as a flavorful sauce and spread, similar to its traditional counterpart. Its creamy texture and spicy kick make it popular in sushi rolls, sandwiches, salads, and as a dip for fries or vegetables.
Health notes
Vegan spicy mayo is not a single ingredient but a combination of common food ingredients. The FDA considers ingredients like vegetable oils, vinegar, and spices to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Some vegan mayonnaise formulations may include thickeners or emulsifiers, which are also typically approved food additives. Health effects are generally related to the overall nutritional profile of the condiment, including fat and sodium content.
Allergen info
Depending on the specific ingredients used, vegan spicy mayo may contain soy or sesame, which are among the 9 FDA major allergens. It is typically free from milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, and wheat. Gluten is usually not present unless a specific ingredient containing it is added.
