Why is Vinaigrette balsamique IGP classified as NOVA 3 and which ingredients determine this rating?

The product is placed in NOVA 3 because it is a formulation of several processed components, such as refined rapeseed oil, extra‑virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard and dried tomato, combined without industrial additives; the processing steps (oil refining, vinegar fermentation and tomato drying) correspond to medium‑level food processing.

How does the fat and salt content of this vinaigrette affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The high fat level (50 g per 100 ml) adds substantial calories and can raise blood lipid levels, while the moderate salt (1.1 g per 100 ml) contributes sodium that may increase blood pressure; therefore individuals managing diabetes or hypertension should limit portion size and use the dressing sparingly.

Is the Dijon mustard in this vinaigrette a concern for consumers allergic to mustard?

Yes; the ingredient list includes Dijon mustard, which contains mustard seeds, a recognized allergen, so anyone with a mustard allergy should avoid this product.

Product Insights
