Common questions about Mustard Dressing

Is Mustard Dressing ultra-processed?

This is a mustard-based dressing made primarily from rapeseed oil, water, vinegar, mustard, herbs, salt, sugar, and cornflour.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
