Test finds mineral oil; Heinz mayonnaise is recalled

A popular vegan mayonnaise brand, Heinz, is being pulled from shelves after a test revealed the presence of mineral oil. The product failed the Öko-Test due to concerning levels of the substance. The Öko-Test examined 18 vegan mayonnaises from various supermarkets, focusing on taste and contaminants. While most brands performed well, Heinz's product was found to contain mineral oil components that can accumulate in the body. Lidl and Rewe's vegan mayonnaises received better ratings, with Lidl's product earning a "very good" score. The test also evaluated packaging and other ingredients, highlighting the importance of proper storage.
