8 WORST UK Mayonnaise Brands Only Stupid People Buy

#UKSupermarkets #UKMayonnaise Real mayonnaise has five simple ingredients: oil, egg yolk, vinegar, salt, and mustard. But the most popular jars in British supermarkets now contain calcium disodium EDTA, modified starch, undisclosed "natural flavourings," and colour additives. Hellmann's has doubled its ingredient list, and budget own-brands are even worse. In this video, we expose 8 UK mayonnaise brands that have replaced real ingredients with cheap industrial substitutes whilst keeping the word "Real" on the label. From budget supermarket mayo with minimal egg content to light versions packed with additives, we reveal exactly what you're actually buying when you pick up these jars. 🔍 What we expose: #8: Morrisons Budget Mayonnaise - Minimal egg, maximum modified starch #7: Asda Smart Price Mayonnaise - Water-diluted with starch thickeners #6: Tesco Light Mayonnaise - More additives, less real ingredients #5: Kraft Real Mayonnaise - Suspiciously bright white, unnaturally sweet #4: Hellmann's Light - Even more additives than standard version #3: Hellmann's Vegan Mayo - Ultra-processed with 9 additives #2: Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise - 10 ingredients including EDTA #1: Salad Cream Masquerading as Mayonnaise - The worst offender We also reveal the 2 UK mayonnaise brands actually worth buying: ✅ Stokes Real Mayonnaise - Made in Suffolk with proper free-range eggs ✅ Homemade Mayo - Takes 4 minutes with a hand blender 💡 Key revelations: Budget mayo contains minimal egg yolk, mostly modified starch and water "Light" versions have MORE additives to compensate for removed fat UK law doesn't require minimum egg content for products labeled "mayonnaise" Hellmann's ingredients expanded from 5 to 10 since original recipe Hellmann's is now banned at Whole Foods due to additives Bright white mayonnaise = very little egg yolk (real mayo is cream-colored) Calcium disodium EDTA prevents organic certification but appears in most brands Salad cream products deliberately positioned to look like mayonnaise 📊 The truth: Most UK supermarket mayonnaise contains modified starch, xanthan gum, EDTA, sugar, and "natural flavourings" instead of the simple egg-and-oil emulsion that real mayonnaise should be. If you've been buying Hellmann's, Kraft, or supermarket own-brand mayo thinking you're getting a simple condiment, this video reveals what's actually inside those jars and why the word "Real" on the label means almost nothing. 🔔 Subscribe for more investigations exposing what UK supermarket brands don't want you to know about their products. #Hellmanns #UKGroceries #FoodExposed #SupermarketScandal #ConsumerAdvice #FoodAdditives #HealthyEating #BritishShopping #Tesco #Asda #Morrisons
