I'm an old guy, and I've seen many examples in the news over the years. I remember a big one from the 80s or 90s when about 9 people from a single family died when the egg salad went bad at a family reunion.

I read that modern commercial mayo isn't what cause the food-poisoning because it tend to contain vinegar and such, but whenever there is an outbreak from a picnic, it's ALWAYS the food with the mayo.

I've read numerous similar stories over the years, did a basic Google search, and got this AI blurb:

Examples of Mayo-Related Food Poisoning Incidents

• Raw Egg Mayo Ban (India): Telangana banned raw egg mayonnaise after over 20 people were hospitalized and one death was reported, linking the cases to contaminated mayo.
• Salmonella in Restaurant Mayo (Saudi Arabia): A restaurant chain’s homemade mayonnaise was linked to an outbreak, with laboratory analysis finding Clostridium botulinum (causing botulism).
• Restaurant Salad Outbreak: A 2000s-era case saw roughly 94 people develop Salmonellosis after consuming salads containing homemade mayonnaise that was left at room temperature for over 3 hours during assembly.
• Club Sandwich Outbreak: An outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium was traced back to egg mayonnaise sandwiches served at a club canteen.
• Picnic/Buffet Risks: Potato salad, tuna salad, and egg salad left in the sun, where the low acidity of the potatoes or other ingredients allows bacteria to grow rapidly.

Valid

Don't be fooled by them! It's delicious! It's mayo but a bit more of a "spicy" flavor and some sugar. (Not like a hot pepper spice, just a mild spice? idk it's hard to describe) great for sandwiches, horrible substitute for pretty much anything else that uses real mayo.

Whipped cream is probably the worst way to describe it, that's like describing blue cheese as ice cream. Very different things.
