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

It is rated NOVA 4 because the formulation relies on refined rapeseed oil, added starch, vinegar, and emulsified egg yolk, combined with processed ingredients such as modified corn starch and flavor extracts; the label lists two additives – a generic additive coded E14xx and citric acid (E330) used as an acidity regulator.

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

With only 1.2 g of sugar per 100 g, the mayonnaise adds minimal glucose load for diabetics, but the 1.5 g of salt (approximately 600 mg of sodium) per 100 g can contribute significantly to daily sodium limits, so portion control is advisable for people managing blood pressure.

Is the mustard or egg in this mayonnaise a concern for people with mustard or egg allergies?

Yes; the ingredient list includes Dijon mustard and free‑range egg yolk, both recognized allergens, so anyone allergic to mustard or eggs should avoid this product.
