Japanese mayonnaise

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise scores 22/100 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.

Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise lists 7 ingredients, starting with Vegetable Oil, Egg Yolk, Vinegar, Salt and Monosodium Glutamate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 22/100 Kewpie Japanese mayonnaise scores worse than most mayonnaise we have scored. A higher-scoring option in mayonnaise is Sir Kensington's Organic Mayonnaise at 100/100.
