The EDTA is a chelating agent used to remove metals from the water. The metals are a catalyst to oxidation so removing them increase shelf life.

The gmo ingredient is the soybean oil. The seed is modified to make plant resistant to roundup increasing yield. They both use this soybean oil since 90% of the supply comes from this seed.

There is no trans fat in any oil. Trans fat is created in the hydrogenated process.

No such thing as vegan mayonnaise it would be a dressing. There is a standard to call it mayo which is at least 60% oil and egg yolk. Vegan mayo would not have egg yolk so not a mayonnaise.

EDTA is a cancer causing chemical and is added as a preservative. Avoid at all costs.
You can buy Chosen Foods Classic Mayo with avocado oil in a 1 qt bottle at Costco for a good price. Non GMO and Keto friendly.

The only vegan product listed on the Hellmann's website is "GARLIC AIOLI DIP AND SPREAD". They don't call it mayonnaise.

Cains
 

Only Cains Mayonnaise for me, but it's exclusive to New England and NY. Whenever friends visit, I beg them to bring me a jar or two. You can get it online, but you pay triple the price...

there is only a small difference between the two. Hellmans' ingredients has one that is inflamatory where Duke's doesn't otherwise they are pretty much identical.

Miracle Whip

I like whichever one is buy one get one free.

Hellmans only, We tried dukes and didn't care for it.

Mayo is, simply put, egg and oil. Miracle whip has a unique flavor. This Jersey Girl grew up on Hellmans although my mother-in-law made Cole slaw using Miracle Whip and it was amazing. It’s actually a salad dressing according to the label. It’s good with anything with a tomato IMHO. Aren’t we happy to know that we have choices?

Hellmans vs Dukes
 

For me Hellman's has a tangy taste, whereas Duke's is creamy and smooth. Duke's is the only choice for a southerner, which you now are!

Duke's is best in my opinion...

Have you tried Blue Plate?
 

I am a Miracle Whip person from childhood. I never liked the flavor of Hellmann's mayo. About a year ago I tried Blue Plate because MW what not available. There was no turning back! I just love Blue Plate, it has a mellow real mayo flavor similar to Miracle Whip.

Blue Plate Ingredients
Soybean Oil, Distilled Vinegar, Egg Yolks, Water, Sugar, Salt, Calcium Disodium EDTA (to Protect Quality), Natural Flavor.

Dukes is the ONLY mayo allowed in my house :-)
 

It's DUKES or nothing!!

Cains is best. Couldn’t get Hellmans at the small country store when at our Maine house. Tried Cains and loved it. We are not mayo snobs but when we can get Dukes or Cains that is what we prefer. Hellmans not so much

Dukes is the best. Never heard of it til we moved to FL.

We prefer the taste and texture of Duke's to Hellman's. We grew up on Hellman's and MW but tried Duke's our first winter in FL because it has no sugar.

Me too. It was all my mom could afford feeding 7 on one income so she could be home with us full time. I loved it then, but didn’t know any better. Now I’d never eat it simply because of how fake and unhealthy it is, but having grown up in California I had no access to Duke’s until we moved here last year. We used Best Foods or a Trader Joe’s brand mayo. Dukes is good, but I consume very little mayo these days because they all have unhealthy processed seed oils in them, and I mainly eat a meat based low carb diet.

In the UK they call it "salad cream".

Anyway. Duke's 100%.

Can understand now why Miracle Whip is not the most popular if it is what we would call a Salad Cream.
Much thinner than a true mayo, but I like the taste.
Heinz is probably the most popular Salad Cream in UK.
Poured over salad, makes lettuce nearly eatable!

Hellman's vs Dukes
 

Hellman's Vs Dukes....Seriously? Blue Plate blows them away! Take it from a Southern Boy.
Funny story, Growing up in Atlanta, I always told my Mom to put more Mayo on my sandwich. One day I ask for a Mayo sandwich (about 6 yrs. old). Mama was going to show me. She put it on thick and made me eat it....I told her it didn't have enough Mayo! She gave up.

Gotta love the Britts! Salad cream, that’s classier than mayonnaise I guess. So is bathing costume, not suit. Anyway never had Miracle Whip. Usually stick to Mayo, especially low fat.

Dukes and MW in our fridge
 

Dukes the best mayo. Like Miracle Whip for egg salad and on a BLT.

Dukes all the way! Would order it from amazon when I lived in Minnesota. Dukes has a bbq sauce now too. Yummy.

I have used Hellman's for as long as I can remember. But the other month, I saw Duke's on a BOGO at Publix. After reading these posts, I looked in my refrigerator, and there was the Duke's, half empty. So it looks like I've been using it and I've never noticed any difference in my sandwiches or my tuna salad.

Miracle Whip for sure.

Miracle Whip? Like comparing apples to Oranges.

Love their chocolate mint cookies. Almost as good as the Girl Scouts chocolate mint cookies

I got one made with avocado oil. It was pretty good. I'll look for it again.

'Reduced fat' is never to be considered, & I agree with the crowd that Miracle Whip is an abomination.

What is sold here as Cole Slaw Dressing tastes exactly like Heinz Salad Cream.

As a joke, fill an empty mayo jar with vanilla pudding. Then, prank people by opening the jar and eating spoonfuls of "mayo".

I prefer Kraft mayo to Hellmans.

Have been buying Duke's lately because of the creamy "rich" taste/texture and it is a little cheaper than Hellmann's. But based on the above comments decided to try Blue Plate too, 'cause some really good food originates in Louisiana. Ordered one of each from Walmart Delivery. Alas, they brought neither, as both are "Unavailable." Has this thread caused a run on mayo?

Dukes all my life.

I've always been a Hellman's man and not a fan of Duke's. As mentioned earlier, I recently bought some Blue Plate to try. I've used a little of it so far and the consistency is different. The real test will be when I make chicken salad. Chicken salad is all about the mayo.
