Is it true that heating up a sandwich with mayo on it can be bad for you?

Question

ok so I had a leftover Burger King burger, and I stuck in the microwave to heat it up for lunch. My brother stopped me and said that heating mayo can be dangerous for your health.

Now I just wanted to know if this was true before eating it.

Answer 1

There is no problem other than it gets soggy and kinda dried out. It is safe to eat.

Answer 2

When I make grilled sandwiches in the frying pan, instead of butter (which turns greasy and burns the bread easily), I spread mayo on the bread.........and I get a pretty blonde sandwich with no mayo taste.

You can't leave mayo products out of a refrigerated unit or a cold pack chest.........then you can get sick.........but heating it you won't.

Answer 3

Only if you allowed it to sit out unrefrigerated for more than an hour...and the microwaving will actually kill any bacteria.

Answer 4

not if it was properly refrigerated before microwaving.

Answer 5

No its fine, just don't leave the sandwich sitting out for a while.

I'm pregnant and on occasion have Subway toast my sub with mayo on it, its really good, and it won't hurt you!! lol

Answer 6

I don't think it's a problem, I think it just tastes nasty.

Answer 7

I don't think so because everytime i had potatoe salad (which has mayo in it) and i don't like it cold i heat it up in the microwave for a little bit i feel fine for the rest of the day.

Don't believe everything you hear once on the news and im telling you what i heard, "that laughing is good for you", but everytime i laugh too much I start coughing bad. mmm that good congestion. lol till u croak :)
