Looking at info on this, it says they've actually never marketed it as "mayonnaise" but instead only as "mayo"... so they might get by on a technicality on this one.
Also, there is no actual law defining "mayonnaise", just a definition used by the FDA. (Anyone who actually knows care to comment on how binding an FDA definition is to a product line, and if they can change it on the fly to new definitions?)
The also have a big picture of an EGG on the package.
It's called "Just Mayo". It's not called "Vegan Mayo". They are going out of their way to appear like an artisinal brand of actual mayonnaise rather than some purveyor of shoddy "substitutes".
Well, it's not mayonaise ... (Score:0)
Oh hey, it's another one of those Dot Com Millionaires should be able to break the law stories.
