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

The sauce includes refined colza oil, modified corn starch, emulsifiers, preservatives and flavor enhancers, all of which place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category. Its label lists additives such as E200 (sorbic acid), E270 (lactic acid), E415 (xanthan gum) and an unspecified E14xx additive, together with a small amount of carbon dioxide (E290) used for preservation.

How do the fat and salt levels in Sauce Deluxe affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The sauce’s high fat content (31 g per 100 g) contributes significant calories, which can challenge blood‑glucose control for diabetics if consumed in large quantities. Its moderate salt level (0.97 g per 100 g) exceeds recommended limits for hypertension, so people managing blood pressure should use the sauce sparingly.

Is the presence of egg yolk and milk powder in Sauce Deluxe a concern for people with egg or dairy allergies?

Yes. Sauce Deluxe contains egg yolk and fermented skimmed milk powder, both listed as allergens. Anyone with egg or dairy sensitivities should avoid this product.
