Why is Kebab Sauce classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is deemed ultra‑processed because it relies on refined rapeseed oil, modified corn starch, added sugars and several food‑industry additives such as E160a (color), E202 and E211 (preservatives), E270 (acid), E412 and E415 (thickeners) and E575 (acidity regulator), all of which are typical of industrially formulated sauces rather than home‑made recipes.

How does the high fat and moderate saturated‑fat content of this kebab sauce influence blood‑lipid levels for people with heart‑related concerns?

With 31 g of total fat and 2.3 g of saturated fat per 100 ml, regular consumption can noticeably raise daily saturated‑fat intake, potentially increasing LDL cholesterol; those managing cardiovascular risk should use the sauce sparingly and pair it with lower‑fat foods.

Is the egg yolk in Kebab Sauce a problem for consumers with egg allergy, and how is it identified on the label?

Yes, the sauce contains egg yolk, which is listed as a known allergen and appears in the allergen information; individuals with an egg allergy should avoid this product because even small amounts can trigger a reaction.
