Why is Sriracha Chilli Mayo Sauce classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The sauce combines refined soybean oil, sugar, modified starches, emulsifiers, stabilisers and preservatives, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods; its additive list includes acetic acid (E260), xanthan gum (E415) and several minor processing aids such as guar gum, colour agents and antioxidant compounds.

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

With 15 g of sugar per 100 g, the sauce can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and is not advisable for diabetics, while 3.7 g of salt contributes significantly to daily sodium intake and may exacerbate hypertension, so both groups should use it only sparingly.

Is the mustard in Sriracha Chilli Mayo Sauce a concern for people with mustard allergy?

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