look for jars that are labeled "mayonnaise" and whose nutritional labels show 0g of carbs. you may see sugar in the ingredients list but it'll be WAY down among the last 2 or 3 ingredients.

there's always a chance that the hellman's mayo sold in london is different than the hellman's mayo sold in arizona. but you should still be able to find 0 carb mayo somewhere.



In the UK they give the nutritional information based on 100g not the 2T serving size like we have here.

1.5g per 100g sounds right.


Atkins says the trace amount of sugars in things like mayo, salad dressing etc. are fine as long as the carbs are fewer than 2 or 3g per Tablespoon.
