How does the sugar and salt content of this mustard affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 1.3 g of sugar per 100 g the product adds minimal carbohydrate load for diabetics, but the 4.2 g of salt per 100 g is relatively high and can raise blood pressure, so it should be used sparingly by hypertensive individuals.

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

Yes, potassium sulfite releases sulfite ions that can trigger allergic reactions in sulfite‑sensitive individuals, so those consumers should avoid this product.
