On Wednesday we reported on how South Africans were left saddened after hearing news that Hellmann’s mayonnaise will be discontinued.
The brand said they made the decision to discontinue production in SA due to high inflationary import costs.
“It’s hard to say goodbye to delicious Hellmann’s Mayonnaise. But, due to high inflationary import costs, we will regretfully be discontinuing Hellmann’s in South Africa until further notice. A big thanks to our loyal fans for all the mayo love over the years (heart emoji),” it said.
Scrolling through social media to read what people had to say about the discontinuation of this product, most were not ready for this devastating news as they still loved the mayonnaise.
