Why is Kania Mayonnaise classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because it is manufactured with refined rapeseed oil, egg yolk, added sugar, salt, mustard and two food‑additives – citric acid (E330) and calcium disodium‑EDTA (E385) – which are characteristic of industrially processed foods.

How does the sugar and salt content in this mayonnaise affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The low sugar (2.3 g per 100 ml) is generally acceptable for diabetes management, but the 0.6 g of salt per 100 ml can contribute to sodium intake, so individuals with hypertension should use the product sparingly.

Is the egg yolk in this mayonnaise a concern for people with an egg allergy?

Yes, egg yolk is a direct source of egg protein; anyone diagnosed with an egg allergy should avoid this mayonnaise, as cross‑contamination is possible.
