It comes down to serving size. Basic yellow mustard is just ground mustard seeds, tumeric, water and vinegar. All of those ingredients are very low in calories.
I don't know if it's exactly 0 calories, but it's low enough that it's not required to be listed on the nutritional label especially when the serving size it 1 tablespoon. If the serving size was larger, a cup for example. I'm sure the calories would not be zero.
From the French's Mustard website which acknowledges mustard has calories...

Yellow mustard is made up of mustard seeds, vinegar, onion powder and water, all of which are technically "calorie free"
Dijon mustard DOES have calories, however.
Be sure to read those labels.

mustard or mustard seed is a spice, ground up and made with vinegar. spices if they have any calories, are trace amounts of calories. Honey mustard has calories because it has honey in it, which spikes the calories.
