Is Chosen Mayo 100% Avocado Oil? Yes; Primal Kitchen Too

Yes: Chosen Foods Classic Avocado Oil Mayo lists avocado oil as its only oil, and so does Primal Kitchen Real Mayonnaise with Avocado Oil. The two list identical calories, fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, sugar and protein per 1 Tbsp (14 g). The label differences shoppers can compare are sodium (50 mg vs 85 mg), ingredient count (8 vs 6), water and mustard (listed only by Chosen Foods), and which eggs are marked organic. This page sets those label facts side by side and leaves the decision to you.

Percent Daily Value figures were not disclosed for either mayo in the records used here. The panel on your own jar is the best place to confirm current numbers.

Do Chosen Foods and Primal Kitchen Mayo Both Use 100% Avocado Oil?

Both ingredient lists name avocado oil as the only oil, but only the Chosen Foods brand page uses the phrase "100% pure avocado oil." That wording describes the product on the brand page, not the processing or purity of the oil.

Is Chosen Foods mayo 100% avocado oil?

The brand page says the mayo is "Made with 100% pure avocado oil," while the ingredient list reads simply "Avocado Oil." The ingredient list does not repeat the 100% wording, so that claim rests on the brand's own page. Whether the oil is refined or cold-pressed was not disclosed, and no purity or adulteration testing for this product was described.

How Do the Egg Ingredients Differ Between Chosen Foods and Primal Kitchen Mayo?

Chosen Foods lists both egg yolks and organic whole eggs and marks only the whole eggs as organic, while Primal Kitchen marks both its eggs and its egg yolks as organic. Both labels show 15 mg of cholesterol per 1 Tbsp (14 g).

The Chosen Foods brand page describes its eggs as cage-free. The Primal Kitchen ingredient list names "organic eggs" and "organic egg yolks." Neither source states whether the eggs are pasteurized, and that was not disclosed.

Are Chosen Foods egg yolks organic?

The Chosen Foods ingredient list does not mark "Egg Yolks" as organic, although it does mark "Organic Whole Eggs" as organic. The list does not say whether the yolks come from a different source than the whole eggs, so this article cannot draw a conclusion beyond the printed wording.

Does Chosen Foods Mayo Contain Water and Mustard While Primal Kitchen Does Not?

Yes, the Chosen Foods ingredient list includes filtered water and organic mustard, while the Primal Kitchen list includes neither. The Chosen Foods mustard is itself a compound ingredient with its own sub-ingredients.

The Chosen Foods "Organic Mustard" is listed with distilled organic vinegar, water, organic mustard seed, salt and organic spices inside it. That means water appears twice in the Chosen Foods list, once as filtered water and once within the mustard. The Primal Kitchen list has no mustard seed and no mustard entry at all.

The label does not give the proportions of these ingredients, so the amount of water or mustard in each jar cannot be determined from the list. Mustard is not among the nine major food allergens FDA lists, but people who react to mustard should read the full ingredient list. For a separate look at sodium in two mustards, see Which Has More Sodium, French's or Grey Poupon? 55 vs 115 mg.

Which Mayo Has More Sodium per Tablespoon: 50 mg or 85 mg?

Primal Kitchen Real Mayonnaise lists 85 mg of sodium per 1 Tbsp (14 g), while Chosen Foods Classic Avocado Oil Mayo lists 50 mg, a difference of 35 mg. Both figures come from the Open Food Facts records and should be checked against the jar's Nutrition Facts panel.

FDA's Daily Value for sodium is less than 2,300 mg per day, and FDA considers 5% DV or less of sodium per serving to be low. By simple arithmetic, 5% of 2,300 mg is 115 mg, so both figures fall below that threshold. The records used here do not give %DV for either mayo, so this is a comparison with FDA's threshold, not a percentage printed on either label. The FDA's sodium guidance explains the Daily Value and how it is used.

The sodium sources differ in the ingredient lists. Chosen Foods lists salt as its own ingredient and again inside the organic mustard, and the combined amount is not separated on the label. Primal Kitchen lists sea salt. Compare the panel on the jar you hold. For Primal Kitchen set against a conventional mayo, see Primal Kitchen vs Hellmann's Mayo: Is It Healthier? Same Sat Fat.

Which Organic Ingredients Are Listed in Chosen Foods vs Primal Kitchen Mayo?

Both labels mark their vinegar and rosemary extract as organic, and both mark their eggs as organic in some form. Chosen Foods also marks its mustard and spices as organic, and neither ingredient list describes the avocado oil as organic.

• Chosen Foods organic items on the list: Organic Whole Eggs, Organic Distilled White Vinegar, Organic Mustard, Organic Spices (inside the mustard), and Organic Rosemary Extract.
• Primal Kitchen organic items on the list: organic eggs, organic egg yolks, organic vinegar, and organic rosemary extract.
• Not marked organic on either list: avocado oil. On the Chosen Foods list, egg yolks are also not marked organic.

Organic labeling on an ingredient list describes that listed ingredient only. It does not describe how the avocado oil was extracted or whether the finished mayo was tested for purity.

Does Chosen Foods Mayo Have Seed Oils? What the Label Says

The Chosen Foods ingredient list names avocado oil as its only oil, and the brand says the mayo is "free of soy and canola oils." Mustard seed appears inside the organic mustard, but the list names no other oil.

The brand page also says the mayo is "crafted without soy or canola oil." Those are brand statements about the formula. The ingredient list does not say what carrier, if any, is used for the rosemary extract, and that was not disclosed.

"Seed oil" is not defined on either label. This section describes only what the ingredient lists and brand page state, and it makes no claim about the health effects of any oil.

Is Primal Kitchen Mayo 100% Avocado Oil? What the Label Says

The Primal Kitchen ingredient list names avocado oil as its only oil. This comparison uses the product's Open Food Facts record, which shows no "100%" wording. The product name reads "Made with Avocado Oil," which describes the oil without a 100% claim.

The ingredient list, as recorded by Open Food Facts, reads: avocado oil, organic eggs, organic egg yolks, organic vinegar, sea salt, organic rosemary extract. Refinement method, purity testing and oil sourcing were not disclosed.

Readers comparing the two should separate "avocado oil" as an ingredient name from "100% avocado oil" as a marketing statement. The Chosen Foods brand page uses the second wording; the Primal Kitchen record used here shows only the ingredient name.

What Do the Allergen and Label Facts Mean for Shoppers Comparing These Two Mayos?

Both labels list egg, and FDA names eggs among the nine major food allergens, so egg is the allergen both ingredient lists share. Neither list names milk, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans or sesame in the ingredients reviewed here.

FDA's major food allergen list includes milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. Cross-contact and manufacturing-facility statements were not disclosed for either product, so the ingredient list is the only allergen information available here. The FDA food allergen page lists the full set.

Sensitive-population guidance is limited. The brand pages and Open Food Facts records do not establish claims for other groups, and this article does not say how either mayo fits any medical diet. People tracking sodium may compare 50 mg and 85 mg per tablespoon with the daily reference, but the right amount for any person depends on factors this article cannot assess.

Label facts show what a manufacturer lists, not how any person responds to an ingredient. This article cannot assess individual reactions, populations that have not been studied, or open research questions about avocado oil, eggs or sodium in mayonnaise.
