Behind the brand.
Hellmann's is Unilever's mayonnaise and condiments brand, tracing its New York identity to Richard and Margaret Hellmann's delicatessen in 1913. In parts of the western United States, related mayonnaise is sold as Best Foods, so the names should not be merged blindly across markets. Egg, soy and other allergens, vegan claims, refrigeration after opening and best-before dates must be checked on the exact local product.
