Most store bought mayos are made with canola and soy oils which are extremely genetically modified. It is much better to make your own mayo. Some people worry about getting salmonella from the raw eggs in homemade mayo, but it is very rare. People who are elderly, immune compromised, or small children should avoid it though. If you need to purchase a commercial mayo, this is the only one I know of that is organic and made of healthy oils. You can buy it online, but I don’t know if any health food stores carry it.
