Why is Sauce crudités nature classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because the recipe combines refined vegetable oil, multiple vinegars, added sugars, emulsifiers and several food‑type additives; the label lists potassium sorbate (E202), citric acid (E330), lactic acid (E270) and xanthan gum (E415) as the main additives.

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

At 1.9 g of salt per 100 g the dressing contributes about 38 % of the WHO’s recommended maximum daily sodium intake, so it should be used sparingly by people managing hypertension or following a low‑salt regimen.

Is the milk powder in this sauce a concern for people with dairy allergies?

Yes, the ingredient list includes skimmed milk powder, which triggers the milk allergen label; anyone with a cow‑milk allergy should avoid this product.
