Why is Moutarde à l'ancienne classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as ultra‑processed because the mustard seeds are ground and blended with added vinegar, salt, flavorings, acidifiers and preservatives, and the product lists two food additives: potassium sulfite (E224) used as an antioxidant and citric acid (E330) used as an acidifier.

How does the salt content in this mustard affect a hypertensive diet?

With 4.8 g of salt per 100 g, the mustard provides about 48 % of the recommended maximum daily sodium intake for an adult, so individuals with high blood pressure should use it sparingly or seek a low‑salt alternative.

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

Yes; the product contains mustard seeds and mustard husks and is labeled with a mustard allergen, so anyone allergic to mustard should avoid it.
