why the change

I;ve been using Hellmans mayo all my life and now you change it. It tastes terrible and once you open it and than put it in the refrig and then go to use it again in two or three days, there is this yellow liquid in the bottle when you open it up, looks disgusting. obviously you changed the recipe and it stinks. Please change it back.

Not happy with the product lately

I've read the reviews, the news reports, the blogs, and Unilever's responses. I can't speak to what's happened at the source, but I'm absolutely convinced of what I've seen as an end-user. I bought a jar around Thanksgiving and when I opened it, it just looked....wrong. It didn't have that signature, dimply texture you could see on the top of the mayo in a new jar. And when I scooped it, it was clearly thinner. It wasn't spoiled so I used it and assumed maybe it was an older jar or something. The next jar I bought had the same problem. I'm willing to believe the public information people when they say the "recipe" hasn't changed. But something, somewhere, has. And any company that values it's product and it's customer base, should be looking into what that "something" is. Meanwhile, I'm going to have to look into who else might make a mayo closer to what Hellmann's used to be.

Different formula?

I bought a jar of Hellmann's mayo a couple weeks ago. I haven't used this brand in quite a while, although it's my favorite, because it's more expensive than the store brand. But I thought I'd go ahead and get the Hellmann's this time. What a disappointment! They changed the formula. The consistency was more like a whipped mayo, being lighter and less dense. It didn't taste as rich as the mayo I remembered. When I looked at the label on the jar, I noticed that it contained 30 ounces. As I recall, a jar used to contain 32 ounces. Now that I've discovered that it's no longer superior to the store brand, I won't feel as if I'm missing anything when I go back to using the store brand.

Hellmanns mayo

This is from an 82 yr old persons..... Awful taste, Not the same recipe as it used to be.. It is runny... Who wants a runny macaroni salad or make a ham salad for a sandwich which ends up with a lot of watery substance in the bottom of the bowl.. This mayo no longer sticks to the macaroni. Even the sounds of mixing it with other items is not the same. What have you done with a perfectly good product...? I am now in search of another product that may come close to your old product. This needs some desperate help to get it back to what it was . The price is just out of reach for a lot of us. So my search begins.

Something is different

I have noticed a big difference in Hellmanns Mayonnaise. I googled Hellmans to see if they changed the recipe and mentioned a reason why they would. But did not find an answer. i see other people have noticed as well. The consistancy is terrible now instead of a knife to spread it you need a spoon. Why would you change a product that was perfect!

not the mayonaise I am used to

I have been using Hellmanns for 50 years of my life. My mother and grandmother used it. The last jar I bought was not Hellmanns! It is not thick-it is soupy and the flavor is not the same. My potato salad is awful. I am so disappointed. Will have to find somwthing else.

The superior mayonnaise

My mom and grandmother have always told me Hellmanns is the way to go when it comes to mayonnaise. Once I was off on my own, I decided to make my own judgments and try other brands. They were right all along! Hellmann's has such great flavor and the creamy texture is superb. We are a huge egg salad and chicken salad lovers in my household, and I made the mistake of trying a different brand for dinner one time. My husband and kiddo instantly knew before I even was able to take a bite. I will only be sticking to Hellman‘s from here on out. It is the superior mayonnaise in my opinion.

Question of consistency

The jar of Hellmann's mayonnaise I recently purchased is watery. No separation, just a liquid. Lacks consistency. Tastes slightly different, like it's missing something. I understand this has been an issue for some time now. For over a year now. Please address. Please call it a salad dressing base. It's not mayonnaise.

Soybean Oil Tastes Terrible

I don't know when you changed the recipe, but changing to soybean oil was an awful idea. Tastes completely different now, and much worse. Unfortunately, there is no competitor with a comparable taste to the original either. So, we're just permanently stuck with no access to the original recipe. Closest is the cholesterol-free version with canola, but it's not the same. Just bring back the original recipe. I won't be buying any more until you do. Soybean oil based mayo is inedible.

Need ingredient listed.

Why is it that I cannot fine the ingredients for list for your product on the website. It should be an easy click, NOT! Disappointed. I have loved your products for over 50 years. The only product I will use and grew up on. I work a kid chef and to not be able to find info on a product with all the allergies out there is a problem.
