Last updated: July 2026 dataMayonnaise carries an FDA standard of identity under 21 CFR 169.140 that specifies minimum oil and egg content — products falling short must be labeled as 'dressing' or 'sandwich spread,' a distinction that directly affects HTS classification and label compliance for importers. NAICS 311941 also encompasses vinaigrettes, cream-based dressings, hot sauces, and other prepared condiment sauces, each subject to FDA's nutrition labeling and allergen declaration requirements. Shelf-stable versus refrigerated formats drive significant differences in cold-chain logistics and port-of-entry handling.

Not automatically. FDA's standard of identity for mayonnaise (21 CFR 169.140) requires specific minimum levels of vegetable oil and egg yolk. If the foreign product does not meet these thresholds, it must be relabeled as 'dressing' or another appropriate descriptor before US retail sale, which may also affect its HTS tariff classification.
Refrigerated dressings must be accompanied by FDA Prior Notice and facility registration documentation. Importers should also maintain temperature logs demonstrating continuous cold-chain integrity during transit, as FDA may request this information during admissibility review, particularly for products with egg or dairy components.
