Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Duke’s Mayonnaise Creamy Chesapeake Cocktail falls short in our criteria for cleaner food options. This product is not organic, and it includes genetically modified ingredients. It also contains added sugars, which we deduct points for due to their impact on health. The ingredient list reveals several potentially harmful additives such as natural flavors and xanthan gum, as well as known harmful additives including caramel color, propylene glycol, and sodium benzoate.
The use of soybean oil, which is considered a harmful oil in our evaluation system, further reduces the product’s score. The presence of preservatives like sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, along with calcium disodium EDTA, are additional factors contributing to the low rating. These ingredients are commonly used in food processing but have been associated with negative health effects when consumed regularly.
While the product does include some natural ingredients like tomato paste, distilled vinegar, horseradish, lemon juice, lime juice, garlic, and onion, the overall composition of the product does not align with our standards for cleaner, healthier food options. The use of dehydrated garlic and onion, alongside a range of additives and preservatives, overshadows the potential benefits of these natural components.
The product’s reliance on non-organic, GMO ingredients, added sugars, and a variety of additives is at odds with our mission to highlight cleaner food alternatives. Our evaluation focuses on transparent and health-conscious food choices, and unfortunately, the Duke’s Mayonnaise Creamy Chesapeake Cocktail does not meet the criteria we advocate for.
Consumers looking for cleaner condiment options might consider alternatives that prioritize organic ingredients, avoid GMOs, and exclude unnecessary additives and preservatives. As it stands, the Duke’s Mayonnaise Creamy Chesapeake Cocktail is recommended to be avoided for those seeking to adhere to a diet centered around health and wellness.
