Why is Sauce crudites Caesar classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as ultra-processed because the formulation combines refined rapeseed oil with multiple added ingredients such as salt, sugar, modified potato starch, flavorings (including fish-derived), a protein-based preservative (lysozyme from egg) and food additives E202 (potassium sorbate), E270 (lactic acid), E415 (xanthan gum), E1105 and E14xx, which are typical of industrially produced sauces.

How does the salt content of this Caesar dressing affect a hypertensive diet?

At 1.7 g of salt per 100 ml, a typical serving delivers about one third of the recommended maximum daily salt intake, which can raise blood pressure and should be limited by people with hypertension.

Is the fish-derived flavoring in Sauce crudites Caesar a concern for people with fish allergies?

Yes, the flavoring includes fish ingredients and is listed as an allergen, so anyone with a fish allergy should avoid this sauce.
