For mayo lovers

[julianna]

Ive stumbled across a fat free no calorie mayo it can be ordered on line looks good too gonna give it a try as I miss my mayo and hate using my sins on it

I love mayo but not ranch dressing (or most things with sour cream in them!) so not sure if this will be for me. I'm interested to hear what you think of it when you get it. I see they also do this one, which might be a better bet for me Having said that, Aldi's lighter than light mayo is only a 1/2 syn for a tablespoon, I think I can probably live with that given the price saving!

I always get the aldi lighter than light good to know it's only 1/2syn for when I start tomorrow!

Fantastic. I was just coming in here to ask how many syns in the Aldi mayo and saw this thread. I am planning to make some potato salad tomorrow

My consultant confirmed tonight all walden farms items need to be syn valued. Full of chemicals n not a great product to be using

I've no plans to buy it myself but looking at the nutritional info it doesn't seem to contain anything that you wouldn't find in most of the ready meals we all eat without a 2nd thought. The only dodgy looking things are lactic acid and sodium benzoate.

Turns out, lactic acid is what does the curdling in the yogurt and cottage cheese processes and it's also the product of the natural yeasts in the air and gives sourdough bread it's distinctive flavour. Sodium benzoate occurs naturally in cranberries, plums, cinammon and apples and is widely used as a preservative in salad dressings, pickles and fizzy drinks. A weight watchers lemon yogurt, for example, contains Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, Calcium Citrate, Aspartame, Acesulfame K and Potassium Sorbate. By comparison, I'd hardly brand this mayo to be "full of chemicals". Plus, if it has no calories, how can you give it syns?

seems odd that it has to be sinned but I'd really love to know how it's got me stumped lol

Everything is full of chemicals. We are all full of chemicals.

This product has no food value, has no calories, so can't have syns.

It probably doesn't have a particularly nice taste either, but that's a matter of opinion, and some people might like it (although I haven't seen a good review).

Haha well said.. have a look at the back of the aldi mayo - they'll be a fair few chemicals in there too :0 xx
