I've got a bunch of Best Foods Mayo, including the one in my hand. What exactly does the label say that means it's genetically engineered?

 @6de6309b Here's a pic. "Ingredients derived from a bioengineered source."

WHOA! Thank you for taking the trouble to get a photo to me. Just wow. 

My jars of Mayo don't have that listed. On the other hand, they're old enough to probably make me sick another way...

 @6de6309b I only thought I threw them out, they're trash now.

 @0e34faa7 @6de6309b the bioengineered ingredients are most likely the soybean oil (avoid seed oils like the plague, gm or otherwise), the vinegar (gm corn) and 'natural' flavors (only a very small % of what makes a natural flavor has to be actually natural, can be a few drops of juice mixed with chemicals and still get that label).

 Not only is it genetically engineered, but it's full of seed oils. You can make your own version at home that's much better for you: https://seedoilfree.club/recipes/seed-oil-free-mayo-recipe-mayonnaise
