Barcode 1090062696432

No — Stokes Real Mayonnaise is not ultra-processed.

The ingredients are basic culinary components (rapeseed oil, egg, water, extra virgin olive oil, raw cane sugar, acetic acid, sea salt, mustard flour) with no industrial formulations such as refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, stabilisers, or other cosmetic additives. Acetic acid here functions as vinegar and is an allowed simple additive, so this does not meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
