Why is Moutarde aux Noix Fabriquée à la Meule de Pierre classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The mustard is labelled NOVA 4 because it includes processed ingredients such as ground mustard seeds, walnut powder and added acidifiers; the only listed additives are potassium sulfite (E224), used as an antioxidant, and citric acid (E330), used as an acidifier.

How does the salt content of this walnut mustard affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

At 6.1 g of salt per 100 g, the mustard provides more than double the recommended maximum daily salt intake for an adult, so it can significantly raise blood pressure and should be used sparingly by people managing hypertension or following a low‑sodium regimen.

Is the walnut ingredient in this mustard a concern for people with tree‑nut allergies?

Yes, the product contains 2 % ground walnut from the Périgord region, which is a known tree‑nut allergen and must be avoided by anyone with a walnut or related nut allergy.
