- greglindahl 9y agoThe nutrition, for mayonnaise, is "all fat with a tiny smidgen of protein"... not so hard to replicate. I've never seen an appellation applied to mayonnaise, have you?
- clock_tower 9y ago"All fat with a tiny smidgen of protein" is an interesting way of describing egg yolks and olive oil. (Not saying that Helleman's is anything more than soybean oil and 3% egg solids, though.)
- greglindahl 9y agoThat's what the nutrition label for mayonnaise says, yes. It also says what kinds of fat. I didn't make this up, the FDA/Congress did.
