PS, please get over yourself.

It’s not a judgement it’s a health concern. [/quote] 
Most people aren’t eating globs of mayonnaise on a daily basis. Fourth of July is a holiday. People want to eat special food because it’s a special occasion. You do not have to eat it if you’re concerned about your health.[/quote]
I think perhaps PP meant health concern interns of mayo sitting out for hours at a time. It doesn’t really concern me, we keep the food indoors and on ice, and most people eat right when we arrive (dinner time).[/quote]

I don’t eat mayo, so I’m no expert. But I see bottles of mayonnaise out on tables in restaurants all the time. Not  sealed mayo packets, but big half empty bottles of Hellman’s which appear to have been out all day. I don’t think anyone is switching them for refrigerated ones at the local dive diner.

What gives? Why is ok for that mayo to stay out all day, but not potato salad made with it? My personal theory is that grocery store mayo is perfectly fine and potato salad made with it won’t go bad as quickly as people think. All the preservatives prevent the bacteria from growing. Just like homemade whipped cream goes bad far before the commercial stuff does. [/quote]

Sealed mayo at room temp is fine. Mayo based items sitting outside at length in 80-90 degree heat breeds bacteria like salmonella (it’s egg based). [/quote]

It's oil based, not egg based and it doesn't breed salmonella as meat would. You are hysterical. Ask anyone from the south where mayo based salads are always outside for family reunions, the 4th etc. [/quote]
