Why is Coleslaw sce douce classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines fresh vegetables with a formulated sauce that includes emulsifiers, thickeners and preservatives, which pushes it into the ultra‑processed category. It contains additives such as E300 (ascorbic acid), E412 (guar gum), and E415 (xanthan gum), as well as egg powder, mustard and a small amount of sugar.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this coleslaw affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 5 g of sugar per 100 g, the coleslaw adds a modest amount of carbohydrates that diabetic individuals should count toward their daily intake, while its low salt content (0.9 g per 100 g) makes it suitable for most blood‑pressure‑controlled diets, provided portion size is considered.

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

Yes. The sauce contains Dijon mustard made from mustard seeds, which is a listed allergen, so anyone allergic to mustard should avoid this product.
