Why is Tajine Poulet Citron et Olives classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product contains several formulated ingredients such as triphosphates (E451) and polyphosphates (E452) used as stabilisers, modified corn starch, guar gum (E412) as a thickener, and a generic flavouring, all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods, placing it in the NOVA 4 group.

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

With 2.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the tartine provides a low to moderate carbohydrate load that is generally acceptable for most diabetic meal plans when portioned, while the 1.1 g of salt represents a moderate amount that could contribute to daily sodium limits for people with hypertension, so careful portion control is advisable.

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