Why is Amora m&f bourgui classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the formulation relies on refined oils, emulsifiers, preservatives and multiple processed ingredients; the listed additives are E14xx (colorant group), E202 (potassium sorbate), E270 (lactic acid) and E415 (xanthan gum).

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

With 6.4 g of sugar and 1.8 g of salt per 100 g, the sauce adds a moderate amount of carbohydrate that can raise blood glucose, and its salt contributes to sodium intake, so individuals managing diabetes or high blood pressure should use it sparingly.

Is the mustard in this product a concern for people with mustard allergy?

Yes, the sauce contains Dijon mustard, which includes mustard seeds, and the ingredient list flags mustard as an allergen, so it should be avoided by anyone allergic to mustard.
