Classic Mayonnaise

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Hellmann's Classic Mayonnaise scores 71/100 on Tallow — our clean 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.

Hellmann's Classic Mayonnaise lists 10 ingredients, starting with Water, Sunflower Oil, Egg Yolks, Vinegar and Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 71/100 Hellmann's Classic Mayonnaise sits in our top band, among the better mayonnaise we have scored. A higher-scoring option in mayonnaise is Chosen Foods Classic Avocado Oil Mayo, 24 fl oz at 88/100.
