I'm not a massive fan of mayo, so only have it occasionally, however I had some on a sandwich today and it tasted a lot more 'mustardy' than it usually does.

Has Hellmans changed their recipe?

    Funny you should say that actually, because we bought some the other day and the first thing I noticed was a distinct mustardy tang.

    Glad I'm not the only one - I thought it was my imagination!

    I make my own and I always add half a teaspoon of dry mustard powder.

    Hellman's is now off the menu since they changed to using soya oil.

    I don't have mayo that often so I can't tell the difference.

    Just looked at the labels on both of my jars, and both are made with vegetable oil, not soya oil

    Soya beans are a vegetable, though.
    By not specifying which vegetable oil is used, manufacturers can change the oil they use if they get a better deal from the producers of a different oil, without having to go to the expense of changing the printwork on their labels.

    Didn't think of that, sorry. :o
