Duke’s Mayonnaise

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, Duke’s Mayonnaise Southern Style Coleslaw Dressing is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food options. The product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients, which immediately impacts its standing on our scale. It includes added sugars, which negatively affects its nutritional profile, and it is made with soybean oil, which is considered a harmful oil in the context of a clean eating diet.

The ingredient list also reveals the presence of several potentially harmful additives, including flavor enhancers and stabilizers such as xanthan gum and calcium disodium EDTA. More concerning are the known harmful additives propylene glycol alginate and sodium benzoate, which are included in the dressing and contribute to its low rating.

The dressing contains egg yolks, which are a common allergen, and while some consumers might appreciate the inclusion of dehydrated onion and garlic for flavor, the overall health implications of the additional ingredients overshadow any potential benefits. The use of distilled and cider vinegar is not enough to mitigate the overall health concerns associated with the other ingredients.

The product fails to meet the criteria for a clean eating option due to the combination of non-organic ingredients, GMOs, added sugars, potentially harmful additives, known harmful additives, and harmful oils. Consumers are advised to seek alternatives that better align with the principles of healthier, cleaner eating. The score of 1/5 green leaves reflects the product’s position at the lower end of the health spectrum, and it stands as a clear indicator that this product does not align with the goals of our website, which promotes cleaner, healthier food choices.
