Has Hellman's changed its recipe?

As a proud Hellmann’s lover and aspiring scholar of all things
mayo, I was shocked by these allegations about the world’s top-selling
mayonnaise brand. So I went out and bought myself a new jar. (I also
bought a jar of Just Mayo, because I was curious about this mayolike
substance that Unilever finds so threatening. And you know what? It’s
pretty good, even if I still prefer Vegenaise.)
It had been about a year since my previous taste of Hellmann’s (thanks
to my Vegenaise kick), and I figured that if something had changed
since then, I’d probably notice it. And indeed I did notice a
difference. To me, the charges of soupiness were on the mark; it
seemed less viscous than I recalled. With less certainty, I wondered
if the flavor wasn’t as bright as it used to be. I was visiting my
parents at the time, and a friend of theirs who was over, upon hearing
of my inquiry, said she had herself noticed a difference in Hellmann’s
lately.
