Why is Amora Sauce Samouraï classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The sauce contains refined vegetable oil, modified corn starch, added sugars, flavorings and the additives E14xx (a caramel colour) and E160c (paprika extract), all typical of industrially formulated sauces, which place it in NOVA 4.

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

With 1.9 g of salt per 100 g, the sauce adds a noticeable amount of sodium; regular consumption can raise daily sodium intake and may worsen high blood pressure, so hypertensive individuals should use it sparingly.

Is Amora Sauce Samouraï suitable for a vegan diet?

No, because it contains egg yolk, an animal‑derived ingredient, making the sauce non‑vegan despite its plant‑based oil and spices.
