What guidance does FDA have for manufacturers of Margarine, Mayonnaise
and Salad Dressings?
Standards of identity have been established for margarine (21
CFR 166.110), mayonnaise (169.140), French dressing (169.115), and salad dressing (169.150).
In addition, there are special labeling requirements for margarine (21 CFR 166.40). There are
also many nonstandardized dressings that are subject to the general
food labeling requirements. Mineral oil is not a permitted ingredient in any of these
foods.
