Consumer Products

Hellmann's Mayonnaise

As part of its ongoing commitment to "Real Food" using simple ingredients, Unilever announced in April 2010 that its “1/2 the Fat” mayonnaise recipe will feature free-run eggs. Hellmann's is manufactured by Unilever in both Canada and the US. Mayonnaise sold in Canada will be made with free-run eggs from Canadian producers.

 

Hellmann's® 1/2 the Fat mayonnaise is the first consumer product of its stature and volume in the packaged foods industry to use 100 per cent free-run eggs - which equates to approximately 841,000 pounds (382,000 kilograms) of eggs in Canada. This means 21,950 hens in Canada will be spared from life in a cage.
