Refined soybean oil and sugar bound together with a stack of modified starches, gums, and preservatives — a NOVA-4 emulsion, not real mayo.

Why this verdict

Refined soybean oil is the #2 ingredient (24%) — inflammatory, highly processed fat
Multiple modified starches (INS1442, INS1450) plus xanthan gum stacked as thickeners
Two synthetic preservatives: sodium benzoate (INS211) and potassium sorbate (INS202)
Added sugar in a savory condiment, plus nature-identical (lab-made) flavouring
NOVA-4 ultra-processed emulsion — engineered texture, not a real food

Ingredients (15)

Water (safe) — Bulking agent that keeps this a low-fat spread; inert.
Refined Soybean Oil (24%) (moderate) — Highly refined seed oil, high in omega-6; the dominant fat here.
Synthetic Vinegar (acetic acid, INS260) (moderate) — Lab-produced acetic acid for tang instead of fermented vinegar.
Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
Modified Starch (INS1442) (moderate) — Chemically modified starch used as a thickener/emulsifier; marker of ultra-processing.
Modified Starch (INS1450) (moderate) — Second modified starch stacked for texture — reinforces the NOVA-4 profile.
Xanthan Gum (INS415) (moderate) — Stabilizer/thickener; generally tolerated but part of the additive stack.
Iodised Salt (safe) — Sodium with added iodine; fine in small amounts but adds to the sodium load.
Spices and Condiments (safe) — Actual spices used for masala flavour; the one genuinely wholesome part.
Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid, INS330) (safe) — Common pH/tartness adjuster, safe.
Sodium Benzoate (INS211) (moderate) — Synthetic preservative; can form benzene with acids, best minimized.
Potassium Sorbate (INS202) (moderate) — Synthetic preservative — a second one stacked here.
Nature Identical Flavouring Substances (moderate) — Lab-synthesized 'mango' flavor doing the heavy lifting instead of actual fruit.
Antioxidant (INS319 TBHQ) (concerning) — Synthetic antioxidant to keep the refined oil from going rancid; intake-limited by regulators.
Sequestrant (Calcium Disodium EDTA, INS385) (moderate) — Metal-binding stabilizer; another processing-aid additive.
