Mayonnaise

What's the verdict?

• Rapeseed Oil (Emulsified Base)Caution

  Supplies monounsaturated fats that can be heart-healthy but is calorie-dense leading to potential weight gain; high omega-6 content may contribute to inflammatory responses when consumed excessively without balancing omega-3 intake.

• Egg Yolks (Emulsifier)Beneficial

  Rich source of choline, vitamins A, D, E and high-quality protein supporting eye, brain and bone health; however, it is a common food allergen and contains dietary cholesterol which some individuals need to monitor.

• Spirit Vinegar (Acidity Regulator)

  Helps preserve the product and provides a tangy flavor; acetic acid has potential benefits for blood sugar regulation but can cause throat or stomach irritation in sensitive people or those with GERD.

• Sugar (Sweetener)Caution

  Balances the tartness of the vinegar; as an added sugar, even in small quantities it contributes to overall daily sugar intake which is associated with increased risk of dental issues, obesity and type 2 diabetes.

• Salt (Seasoning)Caution

  Enhances overall flavor; however, regular consumption of high-sodium products like mayonnaise can contribute to elevated blood pressure and increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

• Mustard (Flavor Enhancer)

  Adds depth with its pungent taste and contains beneficial compounds like selenium and omega-3s in small amounts; generally neutral but can trigger allergies in mustard-sensitive individuals.
