Why is Maionese Classica classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product contains refined vegetable oils, a high proportion of added fats, modified starch, xanthan gum, concentrated lemon juice and flavourings, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods, and it lists the additive code E14xx, a preservative used to maintain freshness.

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

The mayonnaise is very low in sugar, which is favorable for diabetic control, but its moderate salt (1.1 g per 100 ml) and especially its very high saturated fat content can raise blood pressure and cholesterol levels, making it a less suitable choice for people managing hypertension or cardiovascular risk.

Is the egg yolk in Maionese Classica a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes, the product contains pasteurised egg yolk, which is a known allergen; individuals with egg allergy should avoid this mayonnaise even though it is otherwise labeled vegetarian.
