Light Mayonnaise

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Hellmann's Light Mayonnaise scores 11/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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 Light Mayonnaise lists 11 ingredients, starting with Water, Soybean Oil, Whole Egg, Food Starch-modified (Potato & Corn) and Distilled Vinegar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 11/100 Hellmann's Light Mayonnaise scores worse than most mayonnaise we have scored. A higher-scoring option in mayonnaise is Sir Kensington's Organic Mayonnaise at 100/100.
