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

The product undergoes extensive formulation steps, including the use of refined oils, modified starches and an emulsifier, which place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; the only listed additive is E476 (polyglycerol polyricinoleate), used to improve texture and stability.

How does the sugar and salt content of this mayonnaise affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With only 3 g of sugars per 100 ml, the product poses minimal impact on blood glucose for diabetics, but its 1.3 g of salt (moderate level) can contribute to higher sodium intake, which may be a concern for individuals managing hypertension.

Is this mayonnaise suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

The mayonnaise is not vegan because it contains pasteurised egg yolk, and it is unlikely to be halal due to the presence of egg, but it is gluten‑free and fits a keto diet thanks to its high fat (16 g) and low carbohydrate (3 g) profile.
