Why is this mayonnaise classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because it is made from refined soybean oil, egg yolk, water and several industrial ingredients such as modified starch, glucose‑fructose syrup, lemon‑juice concentrate, flavorings and the preservative E385 (calcium disodium EDTA), all of which are typical of highly processed foods.

How does the saturated‑fat and salt content of this mayonnaise affect a heart‑healthy or hypertensive diet?

With about 9.5 g of saturated fat and 1.1 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes significantly to daily limits for saturated fat and sodium, which can raise LDL cholesterol and blood pressure; therefore it should be used sparingly by people following heart‑healthy or low‑sodium diets.

Is this mayonnaise compatible with vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

The mayonnaise is gluten‑free and low‑carb, making it suitable for a keto regimen, but it contains soy oil and egg yolk, so it is not vegan, and the presence of egg also excludes it from strict vegan or some halal certifications.

Product Insights

Hacendado’s mayonnaise is a ready‑to‑use condiment classified in the "Fat and sauces" / "Dressings and sauces" groups, marketed as lactose‑free and gluten‑free. It carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is placed in NOVA 4, reflecting its ultra‑processed nature, a high fat (≈70 % of the product) and saturated‑fat content, and a substantial energy value of about 590 kcal per 100 g. Nevertheless, it contains low sugars, modest salt, and provides the creamy texture expected of mayonnaise, though the presence of soy oil, egg yolk, and the additive E385 (calcium disodium EDTA) may be concerns for allergens or clean‑label consumers.
