Why is this cream cheese classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It is made from fresh cheese (≈91 %), horseradish, starch, salt, sugar and a lactic‑acid stabiliser (E270); the inclusion of added starch, sugar and an acidifier classifies it as an ultra‑processed cheese spread under the NOVA system.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this horseradish cream cheese affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 3.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the product contains about double the average sugar of typical cheeses, which can raise blood glucose and should be limited for diabetic individuals; its 1.13 g of salt is lower than most cheeses but still contributes to daily sodium intake, requiring caution for hypertension.

Is the mustard allergen listed for this product a risk for people allergic to mustard?

Yes, the product is flagged for mustard, indicating possible cross‑contamination or trace presence, so anyone with a mustard allergy should avoid it.
