Why is Delikatess Mayonnaise classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is placed in NOVA 3 because it combines a vegetable oil base with added egg yolk, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt and two food additives; the additives are citric acid (E330) used as an acidulant and calcium disodium EDTA (E385) used as an antioxidant.

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

The sugar level is low at 2.2 g per 100 g, so it has little impact on blood glucose for diabetics, but the salt level of 0.75 g per 100 g is moderate and can contribute to daily sodium intake, which may be a concern for people with hypertension if the product is consumed in large amounts.

Is the egg yolk in this product a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes, the product contains egg yolk, which is a known allergen, so anyone with an egg allergy should avoid this mayonnaise.
