Why is Old-style mustard classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The mustard is considered ultra-processed because it contains refined ingredients such as water, vinegar, and mustard seed paste, and it includes food-grade additives - citric acid (E330) as an acidifier and potassium sulfite (E224) as an antioxidant - combined with industrial processing steps that go beyond simple mixing of raw ingredients.

How does the salt content in this mustard affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 5.2 g of salt per 100 g, the product is high in sodium, which can raise blood pressure and increase cardiovascular risk for hypertensive individuals; diabetics are not directly affected by salt regarding blood glucose, but the high sodium may still exacerbate hypertension, so consumption should be limited for both groups.

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

Yes - mustard seeds and mustard-derived ingredients are the primary allergens listed for this product, so anyone with a mustard allergy should avoid it entirely.

Product Insights

Old-style mustard in a 350 g Atlas jar is classified in the Dressings and sauces group, offering a grain-based mustard paste with water, mustard seeds, vinegar and a modest amount of fiber (approximately 5.6 g per 100 g). The product receives a Nutri-Score of D and belongs to NOVA 4, reflecting its ultra-processed nature, high salt (5.2 g per 100 g) and the presence of additives such as citric acid (E330) and potassium sulfite (E224). While it provides no added sugars and is vegan-compatible, the elevated salt level and processing score limit its suitability for low-sodium or health-focused diets.
