Why is Mayonnaise classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because it includes refined soy oil, added water, vinegar, preservatives, stabilizers and other processing ingredients that are not present in minimally processed foods. The additives are potassium sorbate (E202), sodium benzoate (E211), potassium metabisulfite (E224), citric acid (E330), calcium disodium EDTA (E385) and xanthan gum (E415).

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

Yes, the formulation contains 6% egg yolk, so it is unsafe for anyone with an egg allergy and should be avoided.

Based on the ingredients, is this mayonnaise suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free diets?

It is not vegan because it contains egg yolk, and it is not certified halal as it includes animal-derived ingredients without halal verification; however it is naturally gluten-free and fits a keto diet thanks to its very high fat and negligible carbohydrate content.
