Twisted, here in EY, some years there is mayo that is KLP for ashkenazim but not always. This year Gefen came out here in quantity and many stores are carrying it. I know that Gefen’s “vegetable oil” ingredient is in fact cottonseed oil, which has a psak from ashkenazi poskim of being chashash kitniyos, so we don’t buy it since we follow the poskim here. If you follow poskim from US, they hold that it’s not kitniyos and you can use it. Many unsuspecting Israelis are not aware of this issue and I had to point it out to people running stores/sales that this is the issue so that they can make purchasers aware of it before they use it unknowingly on Pesach.
