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

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it includes multiple industrial ingredients such as the preservative potassium disulfite (E224), the colourant beta‑carotene (E160a), the acidity regulator citric acid (E330), the stabiliser xanthan gum (E415) and other flavourings and sweeteners, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

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

With only 1.2 g of sugars per 100 g, the mayonnaise adds minimal carbohydrate load for diabetics, but the 1.6 g of salt per 100 g can contribute to daily sodium intake and should be used sparingly by people monitoring blood pressure.

Is the egg yolk in this product a concern for people with egg allergies?

Yes, the formulation contains both liquid egg yolk (3.7 %) and egg‑yolk powder (3.5 %), making it unsuitable for anyone with an egg allergy.
