Why is Moutarde de Dijon classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The mustard is placed in NOVA group 3 because it includes added ingredients such as vinegar, salt, an antioxidant (sulphites, E224) and an acidifier (citric acid, E330), which go beyond simple grain‑only processing and thus qualify as processed rather than minimally processed.

How does the high salt content in this Dijon mustard affect people with hypertension or a low‑sodium diet?

With 6.5 g of salt per 100 g, the mustard exceeds the typical condiment average and can quickly consume a large portion of the recommended daily sodium limit, making it unsuitable for regular use by individuals monitoring blood pressure or following a low‑sodium regimen.

Is this Dijon mustard suitable for a vegan diet, and are there any allergens to watch for?

Yes, the formulation contains only plant‑based ingredients, water, mustard seeds, vinegar, salt, sulphite antioxidant and citric acid, so it is vegan. However, it does contain mustard seed, which is a known allergen, and sulphites, which can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals.
