Why is Maille Spécialité à la Moutarde classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product includes added refined oils, modified potato starch, a preservative (potassium disulfite E224), an acidity regulator (citric acid E330), a thickener (xanthan gum E415) and an unspecified additive (E14xx), which together place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high salt and fat content of this mustard affect a hypertensive or heart‑healthy diet?

With 4 g of salt and 35 g of fat per 100 g, the mustard can significantly increase sodium and saturated‑fat intake, potentially raising blood pressure and cholesterol levels, so it should be used sparingly by those following a low‑salt or heart‑healthy regimen.

Is the presence of celery in Maille Spécialité à la Moutarde a concern for people with celery allergy?

Yes, the ingredient list includes celery as a spice, and the product is labeled with a celery allergen warning, making it unsuitable for anyone allergic to celery.
