FDA Says Hampton Creek Can't Call This Product 'Mayonnaise'
Posted in: Uncategorized
Just Mayo just isn’t.
Hampton Creek Foods, the healthy-food startup backed by investors including Bill Gates, can’t refer to its vegan-friendly sandwich spread as mayonnaise because it doesn’t have eggs in it, U.S. regulators said.
The company’s Just Mayo and Just Mayo Sriracha also contain ingredients that “are not permitted by the standard of identity for mayonnaise, such as modified food starch,” the Food and Drug Administration said in a warning letter to Hampton Creek, whose investors also include Silicon Valley luminaries Peter Thiel and Vinod Khosla. The letter was dated Aug. 12 and was posted online Tuesday.
