CleanPlate reviewCheesy garlic mayo with added vitamins
Nutralite Eggless Cheesy Garlic Flavoured Mayonnaise is a 300 g jar of sunflower oil, water and sugar with garlic powder (1.2%), cheese powder (0.4%), liquid glucose, starches and added vitamins A, D and E.
CleanPlate scores it [F][L]CC4. The C for nutrition is middling: modest protein, fibre and micronutrients per 100 g. The [F] marks that added vitamin A and vitamin D lift the grade; without them it would be E. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by edible vegetable oil, sugar and liquid glucose), with additives that cost points: flavouring, hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate, starch sodium octenyl succinate and guar gum. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: cheese is named on the pack but makes up only 0.4% of the product. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (936 mg per 100 g) and calories (490 kcal per 100 g).

A closer look
Does the label add up?
Edible vegetable oil (sunflower oil), water, sugar, liquid glucose, seasoning (spices and condiments), common salt, milk solids, garlic powder (1.2%), stabilizers (INS 1442, 1450), cheese powder (0.4%), acidity regulators (INS 260, 270, 330), thickeners (INS 415, 412), preservatives (INS 202, 211), sequestering agent (INS 385), natural and nature-identical garlic flavouring substances and vitamins. Contains milk.
Per 100 g: 490 kcal, 47.7 g fat, 12.3 g sugar of which 12.2 g added, 0.1 g protein, 936 mg sodium. The row under energy prints 'Total Fat 0.1' and is read as protein 0.1 g (a user call); total fat is printed again at 47.7 g, so the score is provisional. Vitamins A (600 mcg), D2 (10 mcg) and E (7.5 mg) per 100 g are added, so the nutrition grade is marked [F]. 20 servings of 15 g make the 300 g jar. Net 300 g is from the earlier record.
