Why is Macedoine de legumes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It undergoes multiple industrial steps, cooking, cutting, mixing, and the addition of oil, vinegar, mustard, egg powder and a protective‑atmosphere package, resulting in a NOVA 4 status; the only listed additive is the thickener xanthan gum (E415).

How does the sugar and salt content in Macedoine de legumes affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 2 g of sugars per 100 g, the product is low‑sugar and generally safe for blood‑glucose management, but the 0.73 g of salt per 100 g contributes noticeably to sodium intake, so people with hypertension should consume it in moderation.

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

Yes; Dijon mustard is an explicit ingredient and is listed among the declared allergens, so anyone allergic to mustard should avoid this macédoine.
