Best Foods Light Mayonnaise

Best Foods is a storied brand in the world of condiments, sharing a parallel history with the Hellmann's brand. Originally founded in 1913 in the United States, Best Foods became a household name primarily on the West Coast of North America and in various international markets including Australia, Asia, and parts of South America. The product shown is their Light Mayonnaise, marketed with 65% less fat compared to standard recipes and produced using cage-free eggs.

While the brand originated in California, its manufacturing footprint is now global to serve diverse markets. Depending on the specific region where it is sold, it may be produced in the United States, Canada, Australia, or other local hubs. The 'Best Foods' and 'Hellmann's' identities are functionally identical, used by the same parent company to maintain historical brand loyalty in different geographic territories.

Today, Best Foods is a key part of the Unilever portfolio. Unilever, a British multinational consumer goods company, acquired the brand through its purchase of Bestfoods (formerly CPC International) in 2000. Under Unilever's management, the brand has focused on sustainability and ethical sourcing, such as the commitment to using cage-free eggs globally.
