Light Mayo

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Kraft Light Mayo scores 5/100 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. Per serving it carries 0g fiber, 0g protein and 1g sugar. 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.

Kraft Light Mayo lists 17 ingredients, starting with Water, Soybean Oil, Modified Food Starch, Sugar and Maltodextrin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

35 kcal per serving, or 233 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Kraft Light Mayo on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Kraft Light Mayo scores worse than most mayonnaise we have scored. A higher-scoring option in mayonnaise is Sir Kensington's Organic Mayonnaise at 100/100.
