Why is Avocado Tartinade classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The spread is labelled NOVA 4 because its formulation involves multiple industrial steps, including refining canola oil, adding a mustard component and a thickener. The only listed additive is guar gum (E412), used as a stabiliser, while mustard contributes mustard seeds, vinegar and turmeric.

How does the salt content in this spread affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.68 g of salt per 100 g, the spread provides a moderate amount that is lower than many salty spreads but still contributes to the daily recommended limit of 5 g of salt. Hypertensive individuals should use it sparingly and account for other salty foods in their diet.

Is the mustard in Avocado Tartinade a concern for people with mustard allergy?

Yes. Mustard is listed as an allergen and appears in the ingredient list as a mustard sauce containing mustard seeds, water, vinegar, salt and turmeric, so anyone allergic to mustard should avoid this product. It may also contain traces of celery.
