Why does this Dijon mustard receive an E Nutri‑Score, and which nutrients are responsible for the low rating?

The E grade is mainly caused by its high salt content (5.7 g per 100 g), which yields the maximum 20 negative points in the Nutri‑Score algorithm; the modest amounts of fat and saturated fat add a few points, while low sugars and fiber do not contribute enough positive points to offset the salt penalty.

How does the salt level in this mustard affect a hypertensive or sodium‑restricted diet?

With 5.7 g of salt per 100 g, the mustard provides about 23 % of the recommended daily maximum for an adult (about 5 g), so regular consumption can quickly exceed sodium limits and may raise blood pressure, making it unsuitable for strict low‑sodium diets.

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

Yes, the ingredient list includes mustard seeds, which are a known allergen; individuals allergic to mustard should avoid this product, although the formulation is otherwise vegan and free from gluten.
