Why is Creamy Coleslaw classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

Creamy Coleslaw is placed in NOVA 4 because it includes processed components such as egg‑based mayonnaise, added sugar syrup and three food‑additives; the additives are E202 (potassium sorbate, a preservative), E260 (acetic acid, an acidity regulator) and E415 (xanthan gum, a stabiliser).

How do the sugar and salt levels in Creamy Coleslaw affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 5.8 g of sugars per 100 g can raise blood glucose and should be limited by people with diabetes, while the 0.7 g of salt contributes to sodium intake and may affect blood pressure, so hypertensive individuals should consume it only occasionally.

Is the egg content in Creamy Coleslaw a concern for people with egg allergy or for those following a vegan diet?

The product contains whole egg and egg yolk in its mayonnaise, so it must be avoided by anyone allergic to eggs and it is not suitable for a vegan diet.
