Summary
This mayonnaise contains organic ingredients such as egg yolks, whole eggs, and white vinegar, which contribute positively to its nutritional profile. However, the primary ingredient is organic expeller pressed soybean oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation. Despite being organic, the presence of this highly processed oil and the overall processing level of the product limit its healthiness.
