National Classic mayo

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

National Classic mayo scores 51/100 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.

National Classic mayo lists 5 ingredients, starting with Water, Vegetable Oil, Vinegar, Sugar and Egg. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 51/100 National Classic mayo 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.
