Praise Whole Egg Mayo has had a recipe change, and it hasn't been for the better—as is always the case.

Consumers can now enjoy the product with 7.9% egg (down from 9.4%) with the added bonus of tapioca starch and thickeners 405, 415, and 1450.

The consistency of the new version prompted me to investigate as I thought it may have been off. It's more of a gelatinous blob that moves around the jar like slime than a creamy thick liquid now.

I had to go to the supermarket today, and there are still some of the original recipe jars on the shelf. However, we can probably safely assume the new version will become the norm over the coming months.

Anyone who likes mayo on chips with be sorely disappointed. The consistency definitely won't allow for a good dip.

  1. Whey protein concentrate replaced with tapioca starch, much the same use to thicken the mixture.

    Veg gums left bottle, renamed thickeners on right. 415 and 450 were already there…at least they removed 223.

    Does it taste different?

  2. Well, time to make our own mayo with blackjack and hookers (mayo is so easy to make at home otherwise change brands)

  3. Ugh Praise mayo has always been gross. The non “whole egg” version is what’s sometimes called “accidentally vegan” cos they use thickeners instead of egg/milk.
    Just buy Hellmans or thomy.

    Buy a different brand. Woolworths home brand is cheaper per 100g and has 9% whole egg. There are also other brands such as Hellmann’s and Your Condiment Co with 8% egg and 95% Australian ingredients.

    So no longer a whole egg, just most of an egg?

    New name is now **Praise Most of an Egg Mayonnaise**.

    Fuck, I look forward to the TV Advertising.

    They’ve probably figured out our tolerance for shit mayo as well as the increments required to get us used to it.

    Check out Praise’s “Good Oil” whole egg mayo. Claims to have avocado, olive and hemp seed oils. Yes, but in small percentages to first non-water ingredient: vegetable oil and known carcinogen antioxidant 320. Good Oils … my #$@&. “Praise” is a con and should be investigated for false advertising.

    I married a pom so we don’t have mayo but “Salad Cream” I’m not a big mayo eater so it doesn’t bother me.

  9. It may be worth keeping an eye on other brands, my thought is that with the recent avian flu / egg shortage the company decided to add thickeners to replace some of the eggs to ensure quota is still met.
