Best Foods Plant Based Mayo

by Best Foods

A plant-based alternative to traditional mayo that eliminates eggs but still relies heavily on processed oils and emulsifiers. Better than conventional mayo for cholesterol concerns but contains inflammatory seed oils and multiple additives.

• Soybean oil – controversial · Highly processed omega-6 rich oil that can promote inflammation when consumed regularly.
• Water – safe · Safe base ingredient for emulsion.
• White vinegar – safe · Natural acidulant that provides tangy flavor and helps preserve the product.
• Modified corn starch – safe · Processed starch used as thickener and stabilizer, generally recognized as safe.
• Natural flavors – safe · Proprietary flavor compounds derived from natural sources.
• Calcium disodium EDTA – safe · Chelating agent that prevents rancidity by binding metal ions.
• Polysorbate 60 – controversial · Synthetic emulsifier that may disrupt gut bacteria and intestinal barrier function.
