From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Kraft Mayo is a brand of mayonnaise produced by Kraft Heinz, an American food company. It is one of the most popular mayonnaise brands in the United States and is known for its creamy texture and tangy flavor.

History[edit | edit source]

Kraft Mayo was first introduced in the 1930s by the Kraft Foods Company, which was later merged with Heinz in 2015 to form Kraft Heinz. The brand has since become a staple in many American households and is often used in recipes for sandwiches, salads, and dips.

Varieties[edit | edit source]

Kraft Mayo comes in several varieties, including Original, Light, and Olive Oil. The Original variety is made with soybean oil, vinegar, and eggs, while the Light variety contains less oil and fewer calories. The Olive Oil variety is made with extra virgin olive oil and has a slightly different flavor profile.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production of Kraft Mayo involves emulsifying oil, vinegar, and egg yolks to create a creamy, stable product. The ingredients are mixed together in large vats and then pasteurized to kill any bacteria. The finished product is then packaged in jars or squeeze bottles and shipped to retailers.

Reception[edit | edit source]

Kraft Mayo has received generally positive reviews from consumers for its taste and texture. However, it has also been criticized for its high fat and calorie content, as well as its use of genetically modified ingredients.
