Why is Couronne queues de crevettes cuites asc sauce cocktail classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because the shrimp are combined with a processed cocktail sauce and a series of industrial additives; the label lists sodium sulfite (E223), citric acid (E330), mustard (including mustard seed and vinegar), egg yolk, sugar, tomato concentrate, colourants E160c and E160a, antioxidant E224, thickener E415, and preservative E202.

How does the sugar and salt content in this shrimp cocktail affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 1.3 g of sugar per 100 g the product adds a modest amount of carbs, which can modestly raise blood glucose and should be counted in a diabetic meal plan, while the 2.2 g of salt contributes about 44 % of the recommended maximum daily intake and may exacerbate hypertension if consumed in large portions.

Is the mustard in this product a concern for people with mustard allergy?

Yes; the sauce contains Dijon mustard made from mustard seeds, which is listed as an allergen, so anyone sensitive to mustard should avoid this shrimp cocktail.
