Hellmans original
Product Insights
Hellmann's Original is a classic mayonnaise belonging to the "Fat and sauces" and "Dressings and sauces" groups, made primarily from rapeseed oil (76%) with egg yolk, vinegar and mustard. It carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified in NOVA group 4, reflecting its ultra‑processed nature and the presence of additives such as EDTA, flavorings and a beta‑carotene colour. While it provides virtually no sugar and a modest salt level (2.84 g per 100 g), it is high in saturated fat (5.64 g per 100 g) and contains egg, making it unsuitable for vegans and a potential allergen for those sensitive to eggs or mustard.
