Why does this Dijon mustard have a Nutri‑Score of E, and which nutrients contribute most to that rating?

The E rating is driven primarily by its high salt content (5.5 g per 100 g) and moderate fat level, while the product scores no points for fruit, vegetable or legume content, which together lower the overall score.

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

At 5.5 g of salt per 100 g, the mustard provides about 90 % of the recommended daily limit for sodium, so regular consumption can significantly increase blood pressure and should be limited for people managing hypertension.

Is the mustard in this product a concern for people with mustard allergy or for those avoiding sulfites?

Yes; the ingredient list includes mustard seeds, which trigger mustard allergies, and potassium sulfite (E224), a sulfite preservative that can cause reactions in sulfite‑sensitive individuals.
