Why is Premiu-Cornichons classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The gherkins are prepared with a brine of water, vinegar, sugar, salt and spices, which makes them a processed food (NOVA 3); the label lists no food additives, only natural ingredients, with mustard seed as the only allergen.

How does the sugar and salt content in these pickled gherkins affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 5.4 g of sugar per 100 g can raise blood glucose levels and should be counted in a diabetic diet, while the 1.2 g of salt contributes to daily sodium intake and may increase blood pressure, so both groups should consume the product in moderation.

Is the mustard seed in this product a concern for individuals allergic to mustard?

Yes, mustard seeds are listed as an ingredient and are highlighted as an allergen, so anyone with a mustard allergy should avoid this product.
