Why is Moutarde mi-forte classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 4 includes products made with industrial formulations, multiple added ingredients and processing aids; this mustard contains added sunflower oil, xanthan gum (E415) as a thickener, potassium metabisulfite (E224) as a preservative, and citric acid (E330) as an acidifier, which together place it in the ultra‑processed group.

How does the sugar and salt content of this mustard affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The sugar level is low (1.3 g per 100 g), so it has minimal impact on blood glucose for diabetics, but the salt content is moderate to high (4.2 g per 100 g), contributing significantly to daily sodium intake and therefore should be limited by people managing hypertension.

Is the mustard seed in this product a concern for people with mustard allergy?

Yes, the product lists mustard seeds as an ingredient and the allergen label flags mustard, so anyone with a mustard allergy should avoid this mustard.
