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

The sauce is labelled NOVA 4 because it combines many industrial ingredients such as refined colza oil, modified potato starch, xanthan gum, concentrated lemon juice and several acidifiers, plus a shelf‑life extender. Its additive list includes the preservative potassium sorbate (E202), the acidity regulators lactic acid (E270) and sodium lactate (E325), citric acid (E330), and the stabiliser xanthan gum (E14xx).

How does the fat and salt content of this sauce affect a heart‑healthy or hypertensive diet?

With 28 g of fat and 2.5 g of salt per 100 g, the sauce adds a substantial amount of calories and saturated fat, which can raise LDL cholesterol and overall energy intake if used in large portions. Although its salt level is lower than the average for salad dressings, it remains relatively high for a single serving, so people watching blood pressure should use the sauce sparingly.

Is the egg yolk in this sauce a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes. The product lists egg yolk from floor‑raised hens as an ingredient, so anyone who is allergic to eggs should avoid it entirely. The presence of egg also means the sauce is not suitable for vegan diets.
