mayonnaise

[jules84]

hello,

can anyone help?  i was wondering whether it was safe to feed my 9 month old UK supermarket bought mayonnaise ie. the long life stuff such as hellmans that comes in a jar?  i am assuming it's ok as it is fine to eat during pregnancy but didn't want to go ahead before checking and i can't seem to find any info anywhere!  i thought it might make boiled eggs a bit more palatable for my daughter with a spoonful of mayo in!

thanks,
jules

well, store bought mayo doesn't contain raw eggs like homemade if that's what u are afraid of., but i'm not sure regarding the fat content and additives though.... can u try cream cheese with the eggs to make them more edible, mix the hard boiles yolk with cream cheese, can also be made into a spread on toast....

HTH

love

Hi

Annabel Karmel suggests using mayonnaise in sandwich fillings for first finger foods. If it is store-bought then it is not a salmonella risk. As you have already introduced eggs it should be fine.
Arwen had tuna mayo sandwiches for lunch today, and egg mayonnaise last week.

thanks for all your help.  cream cheese and egg sounds yummy too so i'll try that as well as mayo!
