Why is Celery remoulade with old-style mustard classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from processed ingredients such as refined colza oil, mustard paste, egg-yolk powder and stabilisers, and it includes five listed additives: the preservative potassium sorbate (E202), the acidifier citric acid (E330), the thickener xanthan gum (E415), flavorings, and an additional unspecified additive in the E14xx group.

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

With only 1.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack is low-sugar and therefore unlikely to spike blood glucose, but the 1.1 g of salt per 100 g contributes about 18 percent of the recommended daily limit and should be limited for people managing high blood pressure.

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

Yes; the recipe contains whole-seed mustard and prepared mustard, both of which are listed allergens, so individuals with a mustard allergy should avoid this product.
