Why is Mayonnaise à la moutarde classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is rated NOVA 4 because it combines refined rapeseed oil, added sugar, modified corn starch, and several industrial additives such as the colourants E160c (paprika extract) and E161b (lutein), as well as an unspecified additive coded E14xx, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the high fat and saturated‑fat content of this mustard mayonnaise affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

Although the sauce is low in sugar, its very high total fat (72 g) and saturated fat (5.6 g) increase calorie intake and can raise LDL cholesterol, which may worsen heart‑related risk factors for hypertensive individuals; diabetics should watch portion sizes to avoid excessive calories, while the moderate salt level (1.3 g) is less concerning than the fat content.

Is this mustard mayonnaise suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

It is not vegan because it contains egg yolk, but it is naturally gluten‑free as no wheat‑derived ingredients are listed. The low carbohydrate level (about 2 g per 100 g) makes it compatible with keto diets, though its high fat and calorie density mean it should be consumed in moderation.
