Why is Sauce Crudités classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The dressing includes refined oils, modified starch, multiple emulsifiers and preservatives such as potassium metabisulphite (E224), citric acid (E330) and xanthan gum (E415), which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods and give it a NOVA 4 rating.

How does the high fat content in this dressing affect a heart‑healthy or weight‑management diet?

With about 30 g of fat per 100 g, the dressing contributes a large number of calories and saturated fat, which can raise LDL cholesterol and hinder weight‑loss goals if consumed in excess; it should be used sparingly in heart‑healthy or calorie‑restricted meals.

Is the egg yolk in Sauce Crudités a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes, the presence of egg yolk means the product is not safe for anyone allergic to eggs, and no egg‑free alternative is indicated on the label.
