Question 1

Why does this Dijon mustard have a Nutri‑Score of E and which nutrients drive that rating?

Accepted Answer

The Nutri‑Score algorithm penalises high levels of salt and saturated fat while rewarding fiber, protein and fruit/vegetable content. This mustard contains 5.7 g of salt and 0.8 g of saturated fat per 100 g, giving it the maximum negative points for salt, and it has no fruit, veg or legume fraction, resulting in a low overall score and an E rating.

Question 2

How does the salt level in this mustard affect people who need to limit sodium, such as those with hypertension?

Accepted Answer

At 5.7 g of salt per 100 g, a single tablespoon (about 15 g) provides roughly 0.85 g of sodium, which is close to 35 % of the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum daily intake of 2 g of sodium. Regular consumption can quickly add up, so individuals on low‑sodium diets should use it sparingly or choose a reduced‑salt alternative.

Question 3

Is the mustard seed in this product a concern for people allergic to mustard, and what other allergens are present?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ingredient list includes mustard seeds, which are a known allergen and are flagged in the label. Additionally, the product contains potassium metabisulphite (E224), a sulphite preservative that can trigger reactions in sulphite‑sensitive individuals.
