Are Spectrum's Mayonnaise products gluten-free?

All of Spectrum's Mayonnaise and Mayonnaise products are gluten free, and our new labels are marked 'Gluten Free.'

While all of Spectrum's Mayonnaise and Mayo products contain white vinegar derived from corn and rye, the gluten is removed while distilling the alcohol. The mixture of grains - the mash - that has fermented is heated. The gluten stays in the tank while the alcohol is distilled and then rectified. Due to consumer inquiries, we also had a gluten analysis done and no gluten was found in the alcohol.

Are your new Artisan Mayonnaises organic and free of genetically-engineered ingredients (GE's)?

Yes, they are all USDA and QAI certified organic. Spectrum is proud to offer the first organic specialty flavored mayonnaise products in the natural foods category. Since third party organic certifiers disallow GE ingredients, the oil used in this product is by definition non-GE, but we double check this via independent 3rd party testing as part of Spectrum's stringent Non-GE Verification Program.

 

Are your new Organic Artisan Mayonnaises Kosher?

Yes, all are OU Kosher certified.

 

Why aren't Spectrum mayonnaise products vacuum packed?

Mayonnaise is a very stable product. In addition to the stable nature of oil, the pH and acidity levels from vinegar and other ingredients contribute to mayonnaise's stability. And vacuum packing can actually cause separation of ingredients. All mayonnaise products need to refrigerated once opened.

 

If mayonnaise is stable, why is refrigeration important?

It is cross-contamination by other ingredients that makes it important to use care in storing mayonnaise. Once a utensil comes in contact with other foods such as meat, other condiments, cutting boards, etc., it can introduce foreign material into mayonnaise.
