The European committee for world food standards body Codex Alimentarius has recommended that the existing regional standard for mayonnaise sold in Europe be scrapped and that work underway to revise these guidelines should be stopped.

The committee agreed that this system should only be used when refrigeration was not available and that milk and milk products preserved in this way should not be sold internationally.
