You Changed The Recipe! Very Watery And Tasteless!

I've been using Hellmans Mayonnaise for years and years. It's the only mayonnaise I will buy. The last two jars I bought are awful! Very thin, watery and tasteless! You definitely changed the recipe! And please don't deny it, because we know you are being deceitful…..Why would you change your mayonnaise? It's always been the best mayonnaise out there. Not anymore! So disappointed that your company would stoop this low, and lose all your loyal customers! Shame on you, Hellmans! Please bring back your original recipe. Until then I will not buy your Mayonnaise anymore…..and I'm sure all your other loyal customers will not be buying it either! You've just been added to the consumer's products HALL OF SHAME! I wish I could give no stars……

Why did you change the recipe?

I've bought Best Foods my entire life. I notice earlier this year that family recipes for potato and macaroni salad that were crowd favorites were getting tossed. I thought it was the jar so I bought another jar, and another. Something is wrong with your product. It is too smooth and turns soupy the next day. It doesn't absorbe in salads anymore, it just sits there and melts. Can you return to the old recipe? I have two new jars sitting in the pantry and I just don't want to use them. It's unappetizing.

1 of my favourites

Mayonnaise is probably 1 of my favourite condiments. I have it on the side of many meals, especially in a burger or with chips and on with salads too. The bottles are easy to squeeze it out, as well as the jars being easy to get it out from too. It's not overly expensive, I tend to buy proper Hellmann's mayonnaise, instead of shop own brands because it's noticeably better

Bring back the original Hellman's Mayo recipe!!!!!

Why oh Why have you changed the Hellman's Mayonnaise product? Why would you drastically change a product that was so successful? Why would you think that consumers would like to eat GREY mayonnaise? Also the texture is thin -- not thick like it used to be. Our family has ALWAYS only used Hellman's mayo and now we are switching to another brand -- As we do not like the "New" Hellman's mayo.

Extremely Disappointed

Hellmans Real mayonnaise was used by my family for many generations, however, quality, appearance ,texture and taste has severely deteriorated and declined. believe this may be due to soybean oil which is listed as the first ingredient. Extremely disappointed your product is no longer enjoyable

Disappointing!

This is no longer the same Hellman's - one which will stick to a spoon held upside down. It's now watery, with a "off" taste. My suspicion is that they adapted the recipe to accomodate the new squeeze bottle and avoid making different batches. I'll try once more with a small jar, and then I'm switching to another brand.

Taste Differant Since Cage Free?

I recently had the chance to compare the taste between Hellmans Mayo without the cage free label and one with and notice an off taste (almost a sweetness) to the Cage Free. I was hoping you would produce both but now all I can find in the stores is the cage free. Is there anything else you've done different to the "Real Mayonnaise" ? I wish you would go back to the original.

Gone forever, end of a long relationship

Hellmann's was a staple in our family for 4 generations. The recipe keeps changing for the worse. It now tastes rancid and smells stale. I come from a family of 8, we had very little and couldn't afford name brands, our brands were white boxes with black lettering, my mom even used to stretch out milk by cutting it with powdered milk. But we never compromised on mayonnaise, Hellmann's was like the ten commandments of mayo. I don't use mayo anymore and it saddens me, I used to love it, loved it so much, I would use it like dip. This is one thing that unfortunately will not be passed down to the next generation.

Off Taste

What did you do to the recipe? I just threw away a newly opened jar of Hellman's (best by date of May2824 CFB 06:32) because of its strong “off” taste - seemed like too much vinegar or too much lemon juice. I have never experienced an “off” bottle of Hellman's before. One of its virtues has been its absolute consistency of flavor. Could it be your new recyclable bottles? Hope not, I'm in favor of recyclable bottles, but if the plastic is leaching into the mayo…

Disappointed...don't want settle for miracle whip

I'm glad to see, well not really, that others are experiencing the same with Hellmans mayo as I am...at least I know I'm not losing my mind...I've noticed the last few times I made a sandwhich something just didn't seem right...the thickness and flavor of mayo was the missing ingredients, even though I didn't forget to spread it on...it was quite apparent today...when I opened the jar which hasn't been opened very long and has been refrigerated it was nothing but a mass of oil at the bottom...even after mixing, it just ran off of the knife I was using as if I was trying to spread soup...did someone take over the company and didn't receive the original recipe...please try to retrieve it...thank you...
