What to know about Dr. Oetker Funfoods Veg Mayonnaise De'lite

Water first, oil second, and a lot of salt

A 750 g tub of vegetarian mayonnaise-style spread. The list starts with water, then refined soyabean oil and sugar, followed by emulsifiers and stabilisers (INS 1442, 1450 and 415), iodised salt, milk solids, acidity regulators, two preservatives and an antioxidant. No percentages are declared. It is bought to make sandwiches, burgers and wraps creamier.

Per 100 g it has 309 kcal, 26.6 g fat of which 4.6 g is saturated, 10.9 g added sugar and 963 mg sodium, with only 1.0 g protein. The pack's 15 g serve gives about 46 kcal, 144 mg sodium and 1.6 g added sugar. The tub holds 50 such serves, so the numbers are small per spoon and add up if you use generous spoonfuls.

The pack promises a creamy, vegetarian, cholesterol-free and trans-fat-free spread, and the numbers agree: cholesterol and trans fat are both 0. What the claims leave out is the salt, the added sugar and an antioxidant, TBHQ, that costs ingredient points. CleanPlate scores it EC4.

Why Dr. Oetker Funfoods Veg Mayonnaise De'lite scores EC4

Nutrition is an E, with 1.0 g protein and no fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are a C because TBHQ and modified starches cost points. Risk is a 4, driven mostly by 963 mg sodium per 100 g.

309 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 1.0 g per 100 g, all of it from the milk solids, and there is no fibre. The 15 g serve adds about 0.2 g protein.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade. Energy is 309 kcal per 100 g, almost all of it from oil.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why C

The list is water, refined oil and sugar with a long tail of additives. TBHQ (319) costs the most ingredient points, and the modified starches 1442 and 1450 and xanthan gum (415) cost a little each.

The acidity regulators (260, 330) and the preservatives sodium benzoate (211) and potassium sorbate (202) cost nothing in the score. No pack promise is hollow, so there is no label-integrity penalty.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4

Sodium is the biggest driver: 963 mg per 100 g, about 144 mg in a 15 g serve. Saturated fat is 4.6 g per 100 g, just under the 5 g high line, and added sugar is 10.9 g.

Energy adds a little at 309 kcal per 100 g. Trans fat is 0 g, and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so it plays no part.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Red flags

  • Red flag: High added sugar (10.9g per 100g)
  • Red flag: High sodium (963mg per 100g)
  • Red flag: Contains Sodium Benzoate
  • Red flag: Contains TBHQ

Green flags

Nothing stands out in its favour.

Does Dr. Oetker Funfoods Veg Mayonnaise De'lite live up to its claims?

The cholesterol and trans fat claims are true, and nothing on the pack is hollow. The vegetarian label fits the list, but the salt and saturated fat are left unsaid.

  • Product name

    “Veg Mayonnaise De'lite”

    Be careful

    Water leads the list, ahead of refined soyabean oil at 26.6 g fat per 100 g. Modified starches (1442, 1450) and xanthan gum (415) help hold the texture.

  • Retail listing

    “100% Vegetarian & Creamy”

    Holds

    The list has only plant ingredients plus milk solids, which are vegetarian. The creaminess comes from oil, starches and gums.

  • Retail listing

    “Cholesterol & Trans Fat Free”

    Be careful

    Cholesterol is 0 mg and trans fat is 0 g per 100 g, and no hydrogenated fat is listed. The same spread has 4.6 g saturated fat and 963 mg sodium per 100 g.

What's in Dr. Oetker Funfoods Veg Mayonnaise De'lite?

Water, soyabean oil and sugar lead, with starches and gums to hold the cream together. TBHQ and the sodium are what to watch.

The ingredient list, read for you

Water comes first, then refined soyabean oil and sugar, so the base is a watery oil emulsion with sweetener. Modified starches (INS 1442, 1450) and xanthan gum (INS 415) thicken and stabilise it. Iodised salt and milk solids add flavour. Two acidity regulators, two preservatives (INS 211, 202) and the antioxidant TBHQ (INS 319) keep it stable. No percentages are declared, and the pack states it contains milk.

Ingredients to watch

  • SodiumConcern

    963 mg per 100 g, about 2.4 g of salt. One 15 g serve has about 144 mg, and it is the largest part of the risk grade.

  • TBHQ (INS 319)Concern

    The antioxidant costs the most ingredient points of any additive in the list.

  • Added sugarWorth watching

    10.9 g per 100 g, about 1.6 g in a 15 g serve, for a savoury spread.

  • Modified starches and xanthan gumWorth watching

    INS 1442, 1450 and 415 each cost a small number of ingredient points.

  • Trans fat and cholesterolFine

    Both are 0 per 100 g, and no hydrogenated fat is listed.

What it doesn’t have

  • No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, and protein is only 1.0 g per 100 g.

Who should eat Dr. Oetker Funfoods Veg Mayonnaise De'lite?

An occasional condiment for most adults, and one to use sparingly for children and anyone watching blood pressure.

  • Most adultsOccasionally

    963 mg sodium per 100 g and 10.9 g added sugar for no protein or fibre.

Recipes with Dr. Oetker Funfoods Veg Mayonnaise De'lite

Use it as a thin spread, or thin it into a dressing for shredded vegetables, so each portion stays close to the 15 g serve.

Thin-spread veg sandwich

Spread about one 15 g serve, 46 kcal, over a sandwich of cucumber, tomato and onion, and let the vegetables carry the bulk.

Veggie wrap

Use a single serve with grated carrot and cabbage, so the 144 mg sodium in the spread stays the only big salt source.

Quick slaw dressing

Mix a serve or two with shredded cabbage and carrot, and skip extra salt, since the spread already has 963 mg sodium per 100 g.
