Is Hellmann’s legit?
LegitHellmann's is the genuine article, the mayonnaise behind countless British sandwiches, though what is in the jar can surprise people. The UK mayo is made in Europe with pasteurised free-range eggs, so there is no British Lion stamp, and a watery layer on top is usually natural separation that a good stir sorts out.
What we checked
- Mayonnaise brand since 1913
- Sold in the UK since 1961
Watch out for
- A jar with a watery layer that still smells or tastes wrong after stirring, well inside its open shelf life.
- A squeezy bottle that clogs or will not empty, where keeping the bottle and its batch code makes the case.
- Buying for someone who avoids onion or garlic: the flavourings contain none, but the factory handles allium powders.
Hellmann's mayo gone watery in the jar?
We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Hellmann’s as a formal letter.

How do I contact Hellmann's customer service?
Hellmann's customer service in the UK is run by Unilever UK, whose consumer advisers take calls on 0800 435562 on weekdays. The Hellmann's contact page, linked in the contact details above, also has a Message Us web form and a Freepost address at Unilever UK, and lists a separate number for the Republic of Ireland. Have the jar or bottle in front of you: the advisers will usually ask for the product and size, the batch code and best-before date, and where and when you bought it.
Jar or squeezy bottle not right? Put your complaint in here as well, and we push it out to Unilever UK by email, social media and printed letters.
What should I do if my Hellmann's mayonnaise tastes different?
If a jar or bottle of Hellmann's mayonnaise tastes or smells different, has separated or turned watery, or contains something that should not be there, stop using it and keep it with the lid on. Photograph the product, anything you found and the label with the batch code and best-before date, and note when you opened it and how it was stored. Then tell Unilever UK's consumer advisers by phone or through the Message Us form, quoting those codes, the shop and the date of purchase.
A taste that seems to have changed across several jars can be reported the same way: keep an older jar if you still have one and compare the ingredients panels.
Mayonnaise that does not taste the way it used to? Open a case with us: our trained AI keeps coaching you on what to send Unilever UK and when to push again.
How do I get a refund for a faulty Hellmann's product?
For a faulty Hellmann's product bought in the UK, go back to the shop that sold it: it is responsible for goods that are not of satisfactory quality under the Consumer Rights Act, so bring the receipt and the jar or bottle and ask for a refund or a replacement. Unilever UK's consumer advisers are the other route: give them the product, batch code, best-before date and where you bought it, and ask what they can offer. Keep the packaging and the receipt until the matter is settled.
Squeezy bottle that leaked all over the shopping? We help you write the complaint in minutes through our complaint process, with the batch code and photos set out.
