The Take
Ajinomoto Mayonnaise is not healthy. It is seed-oil sludge dressed up with Japanese marketing and a few eggs.
The primary fats come from canola, soybean, and corn oils, exactly the ultra-processed base that inflames guts and signals zero concern for ancestral eating.
The Verdict
Buyers signal virtue through the foreign label while ingesting the same industrial sludge as every other mayo. The eggs and vinegar cannot redeem the primary fat source or the corn syrup shelf-life hack.
Ancestors would file restraining orders. Skip it. Buy Primal Kitchen avocado oil mayo instead.
