Chosen Foods Classic Mayo — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Chosen Foods Classic Mayo by Chosen Foods OKAY — score 62/90.
A genuinely clean mayo: avocado oil, real eggs, vinegar, mustard, salt. No seed oils, no gums, no additives. Still pure fat, so calorie-dense, but the list is honest.
Why this verdict
- Short, recognizable ingredient list with no gums, stabilizers, or artificial additives
- Avocado oil instead of refined soybean/canola seed oil
- Real eggs do the emulsifying, rosemary extract is the only preservative
- Zero added sugar
- Still pure fat and calorie-dense, so portion matters
Ingredients (8)
- avocado oil (safe) — High-smoke-point monounsaturated oil; a better frying medium than commodity seed oils, but still the main fat and calorie source.
- Filtered Water (safe) — Base liquid, no concern.
- Egg Yolks (safe) — Adds richness and emulsifying power.
- Whole Eggs (safe) — Traditional emulsifier and the reason this qualifies as 'real' mayo.
- DISTILLED VINEGAR (safe) — Acid for tang and preservation.
- mustard (safe) — Real condiment sub-recipe (vinegar, mustard seed, turmeric, paprika). One of the cleaner lines on the label.
- Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
- Rosemary Extract (safe) — Natural antioxidant used to keep the oil fresh.
