Which nutrients are responsible for the Mayonnaise traditionnelle’s Nutri-Score D rating?

The D rating is driven mainly by its very high total fat (about 75 g/100 g), saturated fat (about 6.4 g/100 g) and energy (about 730 kcal/100 g), while its low sugar and moderate salt do not offset those points.

How does the high saturated fat content in this mayonnaise affect a heart-healthy diet?

Saturated fat raises LDL cholesterol, which can increase cardiovascular risk; consuming this mayonnaise only in limited amounts and balancing it with foods low in saturated fat is advisable for a heart-healthy eating plan.

Is the mustard in Mayonnaise traditionnelle a concern for people with mustard allergy?

Yes; the product contains Dijon mustard (mustard seeds), and mustard is listed as an allergen on the label, so those with a mustard allergy should avoid it.
