Tesco Light Mayonnaise

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Tesco Light Mayonnaise scores 52/100 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.

Tesco Light Mayonnaise lists 11 ingredients, starting with Water, Rapeseed Oil, Modified Maize Starch, Sugar and Pasteurised Egg Yolk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 52/100 Tesco Light Mayonnaise 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.
