Why is Amora Sauce Gourmet Poivre aux Baies Roses Concassées classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The sauce is classified as ultra‑processed because it is made from refined oils, modified starch, vinegar, added sugars, flavorings and three food‑industry additives; it lists E415 (xanthan gum), E202 (potassium sorbate) and E14xx (a generic code indicating the absence of added colourings) on the label.

How does the salt content in this sauce affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.8 g of salt per 100 g (about 720 mg sodium), the sauce provides roughly 30 % of the recommended maximum daily salt intake, which can elevate blood pressure in people with hypertension and should therefore be consumed in moderation.

Is this sauce suitable for a vegan or gluten‑free diet?

The formulation includes egg yolk, so it is not vegan, but it contains no wheat, barley or rye derivatives and can be considered gluten‑free for most consumers.

Amora Sauce Gourmet Poivre aux Baies Roses Concassées is a 188 g jar of pepper‑flavored dressing classified in the ‘Dressings and sauces’ group of the PNNS.
