Homemade mayo usually is made with raw eggs although pasteurized eggs work just as well. Commercial mayo probably doesn't use raw egg because people are such freaks about it and food companies have lawyers. Some foodies speculate that acid in the mayo (vinegar or lemon juice) help to neutralize any salmonella bacteria that may be present in some raw eggs.

Can mayonnaise be canned?

Home canning of mayonnaise is not possible. Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, lemon juice, and egg yolks. You would have to heat it at some point to can it. If you heat it, you break it, and it will separate. Once broken, it cannot be re-emulsified. Additionally, you would have to use a pasteurized egg product to prevent pathogen contamination from using raw egg. Anyone who makes mayonnaise at home would shudder at the thought of doing such.
