Re: Mayo?????
hmmmm? Maybe because the traditional recipe required raw eggs. But I thought supermarket mayo was made with pasteurized eggs.
In any event, this is the first I've heard of no mayo for pregnant women.

Re: Mayo?????
Here is the only thing that I found:
Raw Eggs: Raw eggs or any foods that contain raw eggs should be avoided because of the potential exposure to salmonella. Some homemade Caesar dressings, mayonnaise, homemade ice cream or custards, and Hollandaise sauces may be made with raw eggs.
If the recipe is cooked at some point, this will reduce the exposure to salmonella. Commercially manufactured ice cream, dressings, and eggnog are made with pasteurized eggs and do not increase the risk of salmonella. Restaurants should be using pasteurized eggs in any recipe that is made with raw eggs, such as Hollandaise sauce or dressings.

Re: Mayo?????
Thanks ladies!!!  I was thinking that's what it may be, but I'm thinking that the mayo which is sold in supermarkets is totally safe.... There are age restrictions on so many things for LO's like honey for example, but mayo isn't one of them.... (to my knowledge).
I don't eat/use mayo that much, so I'll just continue on.

Re: Mayo?????
My doctor had told me to not eat salads with mayo in it from delis because you don't know how long it's been there. She never said anything about not eating mayo. She actually told me that if I want macaroni salad or potato salad that I should make it myself. So I don't think there's anything wrong with mayo.

Restaurants DO NOT have to use pasteurized eggs. However, if they don't they should have a menu advisory (in Suffolk anyway) stating that raw or undercooked eggs are used.

Thanks. I don't trust restaurants to have pastuerized eggs. I just stay away from any sauce or food that has raw egg in the recipe. The only exception being supermarket mayo.
