Why is Mélange 4 huiles classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The blend is made from refined vegetable oils, which undergo extraction, bleaching and deodorisation steps that place it in the NOVA 3 category; the product lists zero additives, so no preservative or flavor additives are present.

How does the high fat and calorie content of this oil blend affect a heart‑healthy or weight‑management diet?

Its 100 g of fat per 100 g and 900 kcal provide a dense source of energy, so it should be used sparingly in heart‑healthy or calorie‑controlled diets, although the relatively low saturated‑fat (9 g) is more favorable than many animal fats.

Is this oil blend suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

All listed ingredients are plant‑derived (rapeseed, sunflower, linseed oils and vitamin D derived from a vegan source), making the product fully vegan and naturally gluten‑free.

Product Insights

The product is a 500 ml bottle of a blended vegetable oil containing rapeseed (49 %), sunflower (41 %), linseed (6 %) and high‑oleic sunflower (4 %) oils, fortified with vitamin D. It falls under the “Fat and sauces” group, carries a Nutri‑Score of B and is classified as a NOVA 3 processed food, offering 900 kcal and 100 g of fat per 100 g, with virtually no sugars, salt or protein. While its high fat content makes it energy‑dense, the low saturated‑fat level (9 g) and absence of sugar or salt are nutritional positives, though the lack of protein and fiber means it provides limited micronutrient benefits beyond vitamin D.
