the mayo isle was practically bare, who is hoarding the mayo.  i can understand the deli selection being way off but 3 shelves 30 feet wide down to a couple dozen bottles?

    shopping is almost like hunting. last two wing packages in the store were, get this, organic, air dried, vacuum packed. the vacuum pulls the liquid out of the wings and they are soaked upon opening the packet. who makes these marketing terms up...

    I hear the lastest shortage is plastic, which affects lots of the mayonnaise packaging.

    the containers is a tough one, china grabs all the containers when you enter the ports, and when china builds new containers at the new inflated steel costs, they get grabbed at the next port. they used to just get swapped as goods were transported to new destinations at the various ports

    When the first panic buying wave of the pandemic hit over a year ago, I was shopping at Costco (pallet of TP to resell on eBay) when I overheard a couple trying to figure out what to stock up on for the crisis.  She grabbed a couple of sleeves of tuna cans and put them in the cart.  He put them back and absolutely lit into her, telling her she had to think like a prepper and stick to things that don’t need refrigeration.  You can’t have tuna without mayo and mayo HAS to be refrigerated, so the tuna’s out.

    I wonder how they’re holding up.

    Anyway, maybe it’s a bunch of half preppers that have made a run on the mayo without really thinking it through like super survivalist guy that I ran into.  How was the tuna aisle?

    my experience with store bought mayo is you can store it on the counter opened and use it daily. safety police say.....NO WAY

    I watched an Hows it Made and the topic was Mayo. The head dude of the company went over how it didn’t need to be in the fridge.

    ive seen people store it in their desk at work. i think you are basically fine if you dont contaminate it by double dipping with a spoon you were mixing say...tuna fish. i know i have it over 50 degrees on the boat quite often, then back in the fridge end of day.

    Just because the manufacturer says so, and the FFA, and simple logic, 🤪tHaT dOeSn’T mEAn aNYtHiNg!😜

    The problem is when some guy’s wife tells him
    to put it away, he’s either too afraid to say no, or unable to explain to her why it is safe. 

    And it’s easier to put it in the refrigerator.

    Huh.  I just checked the bottle of Duke’s in my frig and the label says, “For best results, refrigerate after opening”.   :s 
    I was raised being taught that the mayo in potato salad was what got all the picnickers sick….

    The potatoes are more likely to be the culprit. Old fried rice typically gets blamed for Bacillus cereus, but starchy foods (like potatoes) are culpable, too.

    I don’t care how safe it is, when it starts to turn translucent at the edges, I’m out.  Probably just the emulsion falling apart, but I’m out.

    Homemade mayo will be more likely to go bad@ room temp, it is made with raw eggs, commercial stuff has additives although there are some commercial producers that are going natural

    Also, as stated above, double dipping adds to the party, that's why you will see squeeze bottles are ok @ room temp

    At the end of the day, make your own, its easy and rule typically use what you make right then...eazy peasy..eggs oil salt acid

    Did a Commissary run this morning, they had "blutwurst".
    I didn't buy any.  
     
    No shortage of mayonnaises (mayonnai?) but imagine the AAFES use a completely different supply chain (for instance, can't find Duke's anywhere else in Utard that I've seen).
