Why is the Dijon mustard mayonnaise classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as ultra-processed because the formula combines refined rapeseed oil with added water, free-range egg yolk, Dijon mustard, several vinegars, sugar, modified corn starch, plant extracts and two food additives - E14xx, a preservative, and E330 (citric acid) used as an acidity regulator.

Is the egg yolk in this mayonnaise a concern for people with egg allergy, and how is it sourced?

Yes, the egg yolk, which makes up about 6 percent of the product, is listed as an allergen; it comes from free-range chickens, so anyone allergic to egg should avoid this mayonnaise, and mustard is also an allergen.

Can this Dijon mustard mayonnaise be used in vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free diets?

The mayonnaise is not suitable for a vegan diet because it contains egg yolk, but its very low carbohydrate content makes it compatible with a keto diet; it is generally gluten-free as no wheat ingredients are used, although cross-contamination cannot be ruled out, and it may not meet halal requirements due to the inclusion of alcohol-based vinegar.
