Why is Vinaigrette Cidre & Pomme classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines refined vegetable oils, multiple vinegars, added sugar, and thickeners that are industrially produced; it lists carrageenan (E 407) and xanthan gum (E 415) as additives, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this vinaigrette impact people with diabetes or hypertension?

With about 4 g of sugar and only 0.2 g of salt per 100 g, the dressing is low in sodium and moderate in sugar, making the salt content suitable for hypertension but the added sugars may still need to be limited for strict diabetic control.

Is the presence of sulphites in this product a concern for individuals with sulphite sensitivity or asthma?

Yes, the vinaigrette contains sulphites, which can trigger allergic reactions, asthma attacks, or other sensitivities in susceptible individuals, so they should avoid it if they are known to react to sulphites.
