Why is Salsa Guacamole classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from a mixture of avocado, vegetables, dairy (mascarpone and cream), oil and a range of food-additives such as acidity regulators (E330, E270), antioxidant (E300), colourants (E160a, E141), stabilisers (E415, E412) and an emulsifier (E472e); the presence of these processed ingredients and additives pushes it into the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With 3.5 g of sugar and 1.1 g of salt per 100 g, the dip is low-sugar and relatively low-salt, making it acceptable in moderate amounts for people managing blood glucose, but the 1.1 g of salt still contributes to daily sodium intake and should be accounted for in a hypertensive diet.

Is the milk present in this guacamole a concern for people with dairy allergy?

Yes, the dip contains mascarpone and cream, both derived from milk, so it is not safe for individuals with dairy allergy or lactose intolerance; the allergen is highlighted on the label.
