Selling stock that expired in 2025. Just because it's written in Chinese you think people would not notice this.
Shame on you!
Hi Jacques, we're truly sorry to hear about your concern and completely understand why this would be alarming at first glance! The date shown on your Kewpie Mayonnaise, 生产日 20251017, actually refers to the manufacturing date of October 17, 2025, not the expiration date. With a 保质期 (shelf life) of 9 months, the product is best before July 17, 2026, meaning it is well within its valid consumption period.
We actually have a dedicated blog post that explains how to read these Chinese product dates, which you can find at https://helloasia.co.za/blogs/news/is-the-product-i-just-bought-already-expired-don-t-panic-just-yet
That said, we do acknowledge that shipping Asian products across the globe can affect the remaining shelf life upon arrival, so if you feel you won't be able to consume the product in time, please reach out to us directly at info@helloasia.co.za and we'll be happy to work out a discount or resolution for you. We appreciate your vigilance and hope to restore your confidence in us!
Their kewpie is so cheap!! And it is something that even though we try and use sparingly, we always need a bottle in the fridge. It is not as sweet as regular mayonnaise, which is so cool! And it is so creamy.
You've described Kewpie perfectly, Marcelle! That creamy richness and lower sweetness comes from it being made with egg yolks only rather than whole eggs, plus rice vinegar instead of the usual distilled kind, which gives it that savory depth. The 1kg squeeze bottle is the sensible way to buy it too, since a bottle in the fridge really does become non-negotiable once you're hooked. Great on okonomiyaki, potato salad, or straight onto hot rice with a bit of soy.
