Why is Coleslaw 110g classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the raw cabbage and carrots are mixed with oil, thickeners, preservatives and flavorings that are industrially produced; the listed additives are E300 (ascorbic acid), E412 (guar gum) and E415 (xanthane).

How does the sugar and salt content in this coleslaw affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 5.5 g of sugars per 100 g, the salad can raise blood glucose levels faster than lower‑sugar alternatives, while 0.68 g of salt contributes a moderate amount of sodium that should be counted toward daily limits for hypertension management.

Is the mustard in this coleslaw a concern for people with mustard allergy or gluten cross‑contamination?

Yes; mustard is one of the declared allergens and the product is manufactured in a facility that also processes gluten, so both mustard‑sensitive and gluten‑avoidant consumers face a risk of cross‑contact.
