Serving size, prep, and portion notes for vegan mayonnaise
The whole point of vegan mayonnaise is that it removes the egg. That matters because egg is the ingredient in regular mayonnaise that makes it a problem for people with an egg allergy or egg-driven EoE, and it is also dairy-free by default. The trade-off is that egg-free mayo leans on other things to hold together, so many brands rate moderate on FODMAPs from added garlic, onion or pea and soy protein. Read the label: the base oil and the flavourings, not the egg, are what to watch here.
Watch for
Moderate FODMAP in many brands, usually from garlic or onion powder and sometimes pea or soy protein, so a garlic-and-onion-free label is the gut-friendly pick / Egg-free, which is exactly why it suits egg allergy and egg-triggered EoE where standard mayonnaise does not / Borderline on histamine and sulfites depending on the vinegar and preservatives used, so brands do differ
