"Mr. Ricco Provence"
Mayonnaise "Provence" from "Mr. Ricco" has a good composition. It includes natural ingredients in the form of vegetable oils (mustard, sunflower, and rapeseed), egg yolk, water, sugar, salt and vinegar. However, there are a number of disadvantages due to the content of stabilizers and preservatives (sorbic acid, protein milk concentrate, guar gum, xanthan gum, beta-carotene). Such a product can be stored up to six months, of course, subject to the conditions described on the packaging.
The obvious advantage of this product is its compliance with the GOST system. Mayonnaise received high marks from the commission of tasters. During the study, no violations were detected, and the description on the label is fully consistent with laboratory analysis. The number of points to “Mr. Ricco” was reduced only due to the presence of preservatives and food additives (as the manufacturer informed the potential buyer). Sorbic acid, used as a preservative, does not exceed the maximum permitted value. During weighing, it was found that the actually declared mass is missing an average of 3 grams. However, this is a value acceptable by GOST. A study in the microbiological framework showed compliance with safety standards (lack of GMOs and erucic acid, the presence of trans isomers ranges from 0.1%). However, a more detailed analysis of the fatty acid composition revealed too low a mustard oil content. Thus, the inscription on the package, indicating its content, misleads the potential buyer. As for the percentage of vegetable and rapeseed oil, everything is within normal limits.
Conclusions: Mr. Ricco Provence mayonnaise meets safety requirements, contains true information on the label and has good taste indicators; as a disadvantage, the presence of preservatives and dyes in the composition can be noted.
This product has received good customer reviews. Many note such qualities as the "taste of childhood", tenderness, lightness, ease of packaging, as well as an affordable price.
