What You Should Know

You’d find a 12 oz jar of Zatarain’s Creole Mustard in the condiments aisle or on a picnic table at a backyard cookout, especially when dressing sandwiches, po' boys, or grilled meats. It feels tangy and practical with a hint of nostalgic New Orleans flair. The short ingredient list plus xanthan gum indicates a processed, shelf-stable condiment engineered for smooth texture rather than a purely homemade product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from whole ingredients (mustard seed, vinegar, salt) but containing a stabilizer (xanthan gum) and manufactured for consistent texture and shelf-stability, it is more processed than homemade mustard but lacks the multiple industrial additives and formulations typical of NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods.
