JaneUnChained is celebrating a victory for egg-laying hens and humans who care about their health! Hellman’s mayonnaise has dropped its pathetic lawsuit against Hampton Creek’s JUST MAYO the incredible, cruelty-free, vegan, eggless sandwich spread backed by Bill Gates and Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang, among other luminaries.
