Why is Mayonnaise with black truffle classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines many refined ingredients, such as rapeseed oil, vinegar, egg yolk, and black truffle, and it uses several food‑industry additives. It contains the antioxidant E385, the thickener guarkernmehl listed as additive E412, and a potassium‑based preservative, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

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

The sugar level is relatively low at 3.4 g per 100 ml, so it adds only a small carbohydrate load for diabetics, but the 1.5 g of salt per 100 ml contributes a moderate amount of sodium that could raise blood pressure, making it less suitable for strict hypertensive diets.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like Vegan, Keto, Halal, or Gluten‑Free?

It is gluten‑free, but it contains egg yolk, so it is not vegan or halal for those who avoid animal products. The very high fat and very low carbohydrate profile fits a keto diet, while the presence of mustard and possible trace allergens should be considered for sensitive eaters.
