Why does MOUTARDE DE BOURGOGNE IGP have a Nutri‑Score of E, and which nutrients or additives lower its grade?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm assigns negative points for high salt (6.6 g/100 g gives the maximum 20 points), moderate energy and low positive points because the product contains no fruit, vegetable or legume content, minimal fiber and no protein; together with the presence of additives E224 and E330, the balance of points drives the overall grade down to E.

How does the high salt content in this mustard affect individuals with hypertension?

With 6.6 g of salt per 100 g, the mustard exceeds the recommended daily sodium intake (about 5 g) by more than one serving, so even modest use can add a substantial sodium load, potentially raising blood pressure and increasing cardiovascular risk for people with hypertension, who should therefore limit consumption or choose a lower‑salt alternative.

Is the potassium metabisulfite (E224) in this mustard a concern for people with sulfite sensitivity?

Yes; potassium metabisulfite is a sulfite preservative that can trigger allergic reactions or asthma attacks in individuals sensitive to sulfites, so anyone with a known sulfite intolerance should avoid this mustard.
