Why is Vinaigrette nature en matières grasses 50cl classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The dressing is labelled NOVA 4 because it includes refined oil, modified potato starch, xanthan gum as an emulsifier, and sulfur‑based preservatives; the listed additives are citric acid (E330), xanthan gum (E415), carotene colour (E160) and sulphite preservative (E14xx).

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

With only 1.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the product is low‑carb and unlikely to spike blood glucose, but the 1.8 g of salt represents a notable portion of the daily limit for hypertension and should be used sparingly by those watching sodium intake.

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

Yes, the dressing contains Dijon mustard (5 % of the formula), which is declared as a mustard allergen and should be avoided by anyone with a mustard sensitivity.
