No — Real Mayonnaise is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, recognizable culinary ingredients.
Real mayonnaise is not ultra-processed under NOVA because it is made from basic culinary ingredients: rapeseed oil, extra virgin olive oil, egg, water, unrefined cane sugar, acetic acid, sea salt, and mustard flour. These ingredients do not include industrial formulations or additives that would trigger a UPF classification. Acetic acid is a basic acidifying ingredient, and the oils are conventional culinary oils rather than highly processed palm fruit oil or hydrogenated oils.

No — Real Mayonnaise by Stokes is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Real mayonnaise is not ultra-processed under NOVA because it is made from basic culinary ingredients: rapeseed oil, extra virgin olive oil, egg, water, unrefined cane sugar, acetic acid, sea salt, and mustard flour.

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.
