Duke's Light Mayonnaise plastic bottle

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Duke's Light Mayonnaise plastic bottle scores 47/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Duke's Light Mayonnaise plastic bottle lists 12 ingredients, starting with Water, Soybean Oil, Modified Food Starch, Egg Yolk and Distilled and Cider Vinegar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 47/100 Duke's Light Mayonnaise plastic bottle lands mid-scale — below the typical score in mayonnaise, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in mayonnaise is Chosen Foods Classic Avocado Oil Mayo, 24 fl oz at 88/100.
