Ingredient Score:
Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, Duke’s Mayonnaise Horseradish Mustard offers a middle-of-the-road choice for those seeking cleaner food options. This product is not organic and does not use non-GMO ingredients, which detracts from its cleanliness score. Furthermore, the presence of citric acid is interpreted as an added sugar, and the inclusion of natural flavors raises concerns about potential harmful additives.
Duke’s Mayonnaise Horseradish Mustard is composed of a mixture of water, distilled and cider vinegar, mustard bran and seed, and horseradish. The horseradish component includes horseradish roots, vinegar, and salt. Additional ingredients such as salt, spices, white wine, citric acid, tartaric acid, oleoresin paprika, and turmeric contribute to the overall composition of the product. The product is not certified organic, which leads to a deduction in its green leaf rating. The lack of non-GMO verification further impacts the score, as it does not meet the criteria for those seeking genetically unmodified foods.
The presence of citric acid is considered an added sugar, despite citric acid commonly being used as a preservative or to add tartness. The term ‘natural flavor’ is also present on the ingredient list, which is often a catch-all phrase that may encompass a range of substances, some of which could be undesirable for consumers looking for the purest ingredients. This ambiguity results in a lower score due to the potential for hidden additives that may not align with the goal of providing cleaner food options.
The product holds a middle position in the market of healthier condiments. While it does not reach the top tier of clean foods due to its lack of organic and non-GMO credentials, as well as the inclusion of certain questionable ingredients, it also avoids the bottom tier by not having a long list of synthetic or highly processed substances. Consumers seeking a moderately clean option may consider this product, but those with stricter criteria for organic and non-GMO ingredients, as well as transparency in flavoring, might look elsewhere.
