Why is Mayonnaise à la moutarde de Dijon classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is assigned to NOVA group 4 because it is a formulated sauce that includes refined vegetable oil, modified corn starch, concentrated lemon juice and colorants. The listed additives are E14xx (a generic code for several additives), E160c (paprika extract) and E161b (lutein), which are used for colour and stability.

How does the high fat and saturated fat content in this mayonnaise affect a heart‑healthy or weight‑management diet?

With 72 g of total fat and 5.6 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the mayonnaise adds a significant amount of calories and saturated fat, which can raise LDL cholesterol and contribute to weight gain if consumed in large portions. Using it in small amounts as a flavor enhancer helps keep overall fat intake within recommended limits.

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

Yes. Mustard is listed as a declared ingredient and appears in the allergen information, so anyone with a mustard allergy should avoid this mayonnaise.
