Why is Mayonnaise à la moutarde de Dijon classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because the formulation includes refined rapeseed oil, several added preservatives, acids and colorants such as E150a (caramel), E161b (lutein), E224 (potassium disulfite) and E330 (citric acid), which go beyond simple ingredient combinations.

How does the fat and salt content of this mayonnaise affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The very high fat level (73 g per 100 ml) can increase calorie intake and may worsen insulin resistance, while the 1.6 g of salt per 100 ml adds to daily sodium limits and could raise blood pressure, making it a poor choice for strict diabetic or hypertensive meal plans.

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

Yes; the product lists mustard as an ingredient and tags it as an allergen, so anyone with a mustard allergy should avoid this mayonnaise.

Product Insights

Mayonnaise à la moutarde de Dijon is a 500 ml glass‑jar condiment produced in Belgium and sold at Aldi stores in France.
