Why is Mayonnaise classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The formulation relies on refined rapeseed oil, egg yolk and other processed ingredients that are combined in a manufacturing line, which places it in NOVA group 3. It contains two listed additives: citric acid (E330) as an acidity regulator and calcium‑disodium‑EDTA (E385) as an antioxidant and preservative.

How does the high fat and saturated fat content of this mayonnaise affect people with heart‑related or weight‑management concerns?

With 77 g of total fat and 6 g of saturated fat per 100 ml, the product contributes a large amount of calories and saturated fatty acids, which can raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk when consumed in excess; it is therefore best used sparingly by individuals monitoring weight or heart health.

Is this mayonnaise suitable for vegan, vegetarian, or allergen‑restricted diets?

The product is not vegan because it contains egg yolk, but it is suitable for vegetarians. It lists egg and mustard as allergens, so consumers with egg or mustard allergies should avoid it.
