Hellmann's - What junk is this?

[Lupus]

fair enough, that does not change the fact though that every mayo on the shelf is made with canola or other "vegetable oil" not for taste, but purely to cut costs

I'd gladly try anything that is not one of those two, alas it does not exist unless you make it yourself

It's a few things, cheaper, more neutral taste,silkier texture due to more uniformity, it emulsifies better, more shelf stable and easier to replicate.

Genetically Modified Mayo: Hellmann’s “Real” Mayonnaise Just Got a Bioengineered Label​

They still call it “Real” Mayonnaise…but less than 2% of the jar is actually egg. The other 98%? Chemicals, seed oils, corn starch, EDTA (a preservative that chelates metals in your body), and gums for thickening.

This isn’t food. It’s a lab-created product wearing a familiar label.

Big Food has been quietly reformulating our staples for years while hoping we wouldn’t notice the new “bioengineered” warning now required on the jar.

Real mayonnaise has been made for centuries with just a few simple ingredients: egg yolks, oil, acid (lemon or vinegar), and salt.

Why are we accepting this ultra-processed junk in the first place? Ditch the fake stuff. Make your own in 60 seconds or find a clean brand that actually uses real food.

Your health is worth more than their profit margin. Food is Medicine. Question everything on the shelf.

mostly it is just cheaper, as I hinted at earlier, and it is not limited to mayo either

pesto is another product cursed with this affliction, literally invented with olive oil, best pesto on our shelves being Pesto Princess and even they have resorted to cost cutting, previously used olive oil, now seed oil

that move was not done for taste, it is pure cost cutting

ditto for hummus

Simple. Thanks.

Simple. Thanks.

Very simple - problem is it spoils quickly. You need to look into pasteurising your eggs if you want it to last longer.
