Why is Mayonnaise à la moutarde à l'Ancienne classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines refined rapeseed oil, egg yolk, mustard pastes and several industrial ingredients such as a colourant (E160 carotenoids), a preservative (E224 potassium disulfite), an acidifier (E330 citric acid) and a natural antioxidant (E392 rosemary extract), which places it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the high fat and saturated fat content in this mayonnaise affect a diet for someone with high cholesterol?

With 74 g of total fat and 5.9 g of saturated fat per 100 g, regular consumption can raise LDL cholesterol levels; it should be used sparingly or balanced with low‑fat, high‑fiber foods, especially for heart‑healthy diets.

Is the mustard in this product a concern for individuals allergic to mustard?

Yes, the formulation contains both whole‑grain mustard and Dijon mustard, each listed as a mustard allergen, so people with mustard allergy should avoid this mayonnaise.
