Why is Sauce Burger classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined ingredients such as modified corn starch, xanthan gum, citric acid (E330), acetic acid (E260), carotenoid colorants (E160) and a preservative group E14xx, as well as other processed components, which together qualify it as ultra-processed under the NOVA system.

How does the sugar and salt content in Sauce Burger affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 6.2 g of sugar per 100 g, the sauce can raise blood glucose levels and should be consumed in moderation by people with diabetes, while its 1.4 g of salt per 100 g contributes to sodium intake and may increase blood pressure, making it less suitable for a hypertensive diet if used in large amounts.

Based on its ingredients, is Sauce Burger suitable for vegan, gluten-free, keto, or halal diets?

No - the sauce contains free-range egg yolk, which makes it non-vegan, and gluten, so it cannot be considered gluten-free; its low carbohydrate content may fit a keto regimen, but the presence of alcohol-based vinegar means halal compliance cannot be guaranteed without certification.

Product Insights

Sauce Burger is a pre-packed condiment belonging to the Fat and sauces (Dressings and sauces) group, marketed in Belgium and sold through Carrefour in France. It carries a Nutri-Score of C (score 10) and is classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4), reflecting its high fat content, moderate levels of sugar (6.2 g per 100 g) and salt (1.4 g per 100 g), and the presence of several food additives such as citric acid, xanthan gum, colorants and preservative E14xx. While it provides a modest amount of protein (1.1 g per 100 g) and includes vegetable oil and tomato puree, it also contains allergens (egg, gluten, mustard) and a relatively high fat level, which may limit its suitability for low-fat or allergen-free diets.
