Mayonnaise
Although mayonnaise is often blamed for food poisoning, it seldom causes food poisoning or spoilage. Commercial mayonnaise is mostly vinegar (acid> and oil emulsified by a small amount of egg yolk. The high acid level means that bacteria do not grow in mayonnaise.
However, dipping mixing spoons from fillings into mayonnaise can put bacteria into the mavonnaise (alwavs use a clean spoon!). Usually the bacteria will only, live a short time because of the acid. But this may be long enough if the mayonnaise is soon mixed with other foods.
The acidity of mayonnaise does not prevent or stop spoilage in food mixtures such as deviled eggs and salads containing meat, fish or poultry. Mayonnaise will not make unsafe food sate to eat. Use safe food handling habits.
