Hellmans Real Mayo lasts about a year on a cool dark shelf.How will you store it? I opened mayo that was 46 days past it's date and it tasted horrible, had to let it go!
This was Blue Plate.
That "Hellman's" is still a good deal in the one-gallon jug. I like the avocado oil mayo.
I've had Hellmans last close to 3 years. I've had gallon jars opened, and not go bad, unrefrigerated. I would take a quart out, close the gallon and put it back on the shelf, and put the working quart in the fridge.

Yep - the only risk with pushing the envelope with a product like that is that, the main oils in mayo are unsaturated and vulnerable to rancidity that can be hard to detect.
We just had a gallon on Hellmans right after Christmas. Changed color, and tasted funky. Decided not to risk it. It was almost a year out of date
I wonder if when there is no more eggs will there be no more mayo...??
Can you make mayo at home from powered eggs....???
I'll start following the wild turkeys and roadrunners around for their eggs!!

Here’s the recipe that looks good Mayonnaise After The Apocalypse: How to Make Off-the-Grid Survival Mayo - PrepHappy.com
I looked at eggless recipes. They mostly use plant-based oils in place of the egg yolk.
Are you fast enough to catch a roadrunner egg?I'll start following the wild turkeys and roadrunners around for their eggs!!

The big problem with this, it's made by Nestle.
Wonder if there is something similar made by a different company?

I think people considering the morality of different producers when they select products in normal times is great.
But often, people just fixate on a limited group of suppliers - after all, who here doesn't buy anything made in China?
Who here really knows the moral footprint of most of the products they buy?
When it comes to products bought for survivalism, it is also worth noting that, if we really need those products some time in the future, then there will be many severe, bigger moral imperatives/conflicts to overcome, that dwarf anything associated with ethical shopping.

Some vegan mayo is made with canola oil. I wouldn't eat that. But then, we always have eggs, I'll just make it regular.
Y’all are going to flip, but we don’t eat mayo or miracle whip. Blek! We do like butter though 
or you can use a thin spread of lard or tallow. Much better for you also.

I like them both, but not at the same time. Around here, everyone puts mayo on their hotdogs. I think that's weird. And on sloppy joes, too.
Guilty!!Toast, butter, bacon, tomato, mayo, toast!! In that orderOh yuk!
I'll admit to using both butter/spread & mayo on a sandwich. In my mind, the spread seals the bread so the mayo doesn't get it soggy... especially if you're making the sandwich in the morning and not eating it until lunchtime.
Mayo isn't one of my long term storage because it can go off subtly. I store olive oil in metal gallon jugs & have mastered making mayo with olive oil, vinegar and aquafaba (the liquid left after uncanning or cooking chick peas). It makes a pretty passable mayo, and way fluffier than vinegar on it's own.

Actually I think it's a German thing. Or at least, Alsatian.
It gives them a little tang. Ketchup is too sugary and sweet and kills the potato taste.
I'm German!
Here in Utah we have "fry sauce" which is basically 50/50 catsup & mayo. I'm a big fan of it, love the added tang and I'm definitely very German as well!
