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

NOVA 4 covers products made with industrial ingredients and several additives; this spread includes preservatives (E202 potassium sorbate), acidity regulator (E262 sodium acetate), thickening agents (E415 xanthan gum, E412 guar gum) and other additives grouped under E14xx, which together qualify it as ultra‑processed.

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

At 2.7 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread adds a modest amount of carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose, so people with diabetes should account for it in their total sugar intake; the 1.2 g of salt per 100 g is lower than average for spreads but still contributes to daily sodium limits, making moderation important for hypertension.

Is the egg ingredient in this product a concern for individuals with egg allergy?

Yes, the spread lists eggs at 57 % of the formulation and the ingredient list highlights egg as an allergen, so anyone allergic to eggs should avoid this product.
