Why is Moutarde de Dijon fine et forte classified as a processed (NOVA 3) product and which additives does it contain?

The mustard is made from processed mustard seeds combined with added water, vinegar, salt and two food‑grade additives, which places it in NOVA group 3. The additives are potassium sulfite (E224), used as an antioxidant, and citric acid (E330), used as an acidifier.

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

With 6.5 g of salt per 100 g, the mustard is high in sodium and may contribute to elevated blood pressure, making it less suitable for hypertensive individuals. The low sugar level (2.7 g) is modest for diabetes management, but the overall sodium load should be considered in meal planning.

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

Yes, mustard seeds are listed as an allergen, so anyone with a mustard sensitivity should avoid this product.
