Hellmans/best Foods Canola Mayo

[Ginsou]

Well, like so many other celiacs, I have a severe soy problem. I am sitting here at the table with 2 jars of Best Foods Canola mayonnaise. One label says : natural flavors (soy), the label on the other jar says natural flavors. I was estatic when soy was not listed....but am having second thoughts. Soy is a killer for me. Guess I'll go back to the $7.65 bottle of Spectrum Canola mayo....quite good, I might add. I've learned to make some cooked home made mayo and add it to the Spectrum mayo......almost 2 for the price of 1.

I just found this the other day about canola oil. I had known for a long time that it isn't healthy, but this says it is highly toxic.

You may want to make your own mayo, or find some that isn't made with canola oil.

As with everything on the internet, take with an enormous shaker of salt.

Back to the mayo question, I was SO disappointed when they added soy to the Best Foods mayo. (If we could tolerate soy, wouldn't we just buy regular mayo???) Spectrum tastes only so-so to me, but I recently discovered that Whole Foods' 365 brand mayo is canola based, soy-free, and tastes like the real thing. I'm so happy to have yummy mayo back in my life!
