LovethisMayo

I love Hellmann's mayonnaise, never use anything else.I have also done your taste test. And was able to tell the difference between the reg. and the light. I have very good taste buds. And I know when like something or not. I even have my husband loving it on his sand which. There is nothing like it. Macaroni, potato salads, devild eggs.

It's no longer REAL mayonnaise !!

It's said that misery loves company - and in this instance, I have a LOT of company - but it is of little consolation to my family. I am happy, however, to see that it isn't just my taste buds gone awry. After using Hellman's exclusively and religiously touting its superiority for some 45+ years, I will no longer buy it, use it nor recommend it. I, too, notice the changes in flavor, consistency and shelf stability and, sadly, Hellman's is no longer the product I've loved for a lifetime. Whether the changes were due to cost considerations, availability of raw materials, or changes in manufacturing processes makes no difference. I feel relatively certain the new formula was never presented to an independent focus group of dedicated Hellman's users. With all due respect, sometimes change is not for the better, as Coke discovered, and we must go back and reassess our actions. It appears that a legion of former Hellman's users, myself included, sincerely hope you'll do just that and bring back our beloved REAL mayonnaise.

What have you done to the formula?

Something is off with Hellmann's and I may have to switch to another brand. The consistency, particularly when you get to the bottom of a jar, becomes almost disgusting. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? I have used Hellmann's for 60 years. Something is wrong.

The reformulation is terrible.

Products are always reformulated to cut corners and increase profit. Sometime within the past 18 months or so, Hellman's reformulated this old standby. The texture used to be stiffer, almost like stiff egg whites, with a very eggy flavor. The texture is now much more funny and thin, like Miracle Whip. The flavor is more tart than it used to be, no overpowering the egg flavor which is now reduced. They've obviously upped the water content, even though oil is still the lead ingredient. In salads, it starts to get watery after it sits a day, so you'll end up throwing your left over deviled eggs and potato salad away. Obviously a Boardroom decision made by out of touch suits in their corporate bubble, having nothing but contempt for the loyal consumer and ruining a once-good product in favor of the bottom line. Need to find another product, since Hellman's has left deserted me as a once-loyal customer.

Individual mayo packets

I love Hellman's mayonnaise but the individual mayo packets are super hard to open. I work for a company where we order Jimmy John's every week, as we do orientations for our new hires. We realize these individuals packets are provided by Jimmy Johns when we order our food, but the individual mayo packets are Hellmans product. Just wondering if they could change the package to where it's easier to open. Our groups end up with “mayo-less” sandwiches. Is this possible, to get the individual packets to open or rip easier?

Disappointing

I grew up on Helmann's Real Mayonnaise and my kids have grown up on it. However, lately we keep getting jars with a funny taste and have to discard them. Today we discarded the third jar in the last six months. Quality control must have dropped. I think we will keep trying but on the 4th jar, we will have to find a different mayonnaise.

Not REAL mayo.

Real mayonnaise does not contain the following: 1)CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA (USED TO PROTECT QUALITY), 2)NATURAL FLAVORS Really? Natural FLAVORS sounds like a coverup for stuff that is NOT in REAL mayo. See how that works? Yours truly, the mayo-police.

Best Mayonnaise EVER!

My mother and grandmother always used Hellmann's Mayonnaise when I was growing up as a kid. I'm an adult myself now, and it's the ONLY brand of mayonnaise that I will use. NOTHING tastes like Hellmann's Mayonnaise, and it makes my dishes taste amazing! It's creamy, smooth, and has just enough flavor to give it a little kick. I cook all of the time for family and friends, so I only want the best ingredients, and Hellmann's Mayonnaise is the best on the market period! I use it in macaroni salad, potato salad, shrimp dip, and spinach artichoke dip just to mention a few. I use it on sandwiches, and I use it in baking recipes as well. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who loves the best mayonnaise on the market!

Taste Change

I thought it was me only until I read all of these other remarks, what did you do to the old Real Hellmans Mayonnaise? It is more thin than before and not as rich and tasty like before when you could buy the 32 oz jar, Please go back to the original size and taste.

Awful!

Hellman's Real Mayonnaise is simply inedible since formula/recipe changed. Loose & runny. Taste is not the same & after opening & storing in refrigerator, tastes rancid after a short time. I emailed Hellman's, but after reading all the negative reviews, I am sure they won't go back to the Hellman's we loved. I am not wasting my money on this product and will try Kraft Mayonnaise that receives good reviews. Possibly Hellman's changing to soybean oil from canola oil changed their product. Plus are they watering it down to make more money?
