Summary

This mayonnaise is primarily made from organic ingredients, which is a positive aspect, but it contains a high proportion of organic sunflower oil. Sunflower oil is a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can contribute to inflammation if consumed excessively. The product is processed, which limits its score, despite the presence of beneficial ingredients like organic egg yolk and spirit vinegar.
