Why is Salade Preparee THON OEUF CRUDITES classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as ultra-processed because the product combines a pre-made vegetable mix with a cocktail sauce that contains refined oil, sugar, thickeners and preservatives, and the formulation adds three food-grade additives: E260 (acetic acid), E330 (citric acid) and E415 (xanthane gum).

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

Yes, the cocktail sauce includes mustard and mustard seeds, and mustard is listed among the allergens, so anyone allergic to mustard should avoid this salad.

Can this salad be considered vegan, gluten-free, or suitable for a keto diet?

No, it is not vegan because it contains tuna and hard-boiled egg, it is not gluten-free due to possible gluten trace contamination, but its very low carbohydrate content (about 2 g of sugar and minimal other carbs per 100 g) makes it compatible with a keto or low-carb eating plan for those who can tolerate the fish and egg.
