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

The dressing is made from refined oil, vinegar, sugars and several industrial ingredients, and it includes additives such as potassium metabisulfite (E224) for preservation, citric acid (E330) as an acidifier, xanthan gum (E415) as a thickener, and lutein (E161b) as a colour, which together place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With only 1.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the product is suitable for blood‑glucose control, but its 1.74 g of salt (considered high for a condiment) can contribute to elevated blood pressure, so people with hypertension should limit its use.

Is the mustard in Vinaigrette Nat a concern for people allergic to mustard?

Yes, the dressing contains Dijon mustard, which is listed as a mustard allergen; individuals with mustard sensitivity should avoid this product.
