Why is Moutarde mi-forte classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The mustard is deemed ultra-processed because it combines refined sunflower oil, a thickener, acidifier and a preservative that are industrially manufactured; the label lists xanthan gum (E415) as a thickener, citric acid (E330) as an acidifier, and potassium disulphite as a preservative.

How does the salt and fat content in this mustard affect a hypertensive or heart-healthy diet?

At 4.2 g of salt per 100 g, the mustard contributes a substantial share of the recommended daily limit of 5 g, which can raise blood pressure for hypertensive individuals; the 23.6 g of fat, mostly unsaturated, adds extra calories and should be consumed in moderation within a heart-healthy eating plan.

Is the mustard seed in this product a concern for people with mustard allergy?

Yes, mustard seeds are the primary ingredient and are listed as an allergen, so anyone with a mustard allergy should avoid this product.
