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

The product mixes refined sunflower oil, added unrefined cane sugar, and a food‑grade thickener (xanthane gum, listed as additive E415); these industrial ingredients and the complex formulation place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high saturated‑fat content in this mayonnaise affect cardiovascular health?

Saturated fat raises LDL cholesterol levels, which can increase the risk of heart disease; therefore the high saturated‑fat content (9.8 g per 100 g) suggests limited consumption, especially for people watching their cholesterol.

Is the mustard in this Dijon mustard mayonnaise a concern for people with mustard allergy?

Yes, mustard is present at 4 % of the formulation and is flagged as an allergen, so anyone allergic to mustard should avoid this product.
