Why is Old-Style Mustard classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Because the formulation goes beyond basic mustard seeds, vinegar, water and salt by adding refined ingredients and additives such as E224 (potassium metabisulfite) as an antioxidant and E330 (citric acid) as an acidifier, it meets the criteria for an ultra‑processed product (NOVA 4).

How does the salt content of Old-Style Mustard affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 5.2 g of salt per 100 g, the mustard provides a high sodium load that can raise blood pressure and is therefore unsuitable for people managing hypertension, while its low sugar (1.6 g) does not directly impact blood glucose but the overall sodium intake should still be monitored by diabetics.

Is mustard in this product a concern for people with mustard allergy or sensitivities?

Yes – the product lists mustard seed and its husks as ingredients, and they are recognized allergens; anyone with a mustard allergy should avoid it, and the presence of sulfites (E224) also poses an additional sensitivity risk.
