The Take
Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise is seed-oil sludge in a jar, marketed as the classic American staple. Soybean oil sits first on the list, followed by a parade of natural flavors and EDTA that turn eggs and vinegar into afterthoughts.
The Verdict
This is goyslop dressed in retro packaging. The eggs and vinegar cannot save the soybean oil base or the chemical shelf-life crew that follows.
Skip it. Buy Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Mayo instead.
