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

The product uses fruit‑juice concentrates, added fruit pectin and undergoes multiple processing steps such as cooking and concentration, which meet the criteria for NOVA 4; the only listed additive is pectin (E 440), used as a gelling agent.

How does the high sugar content in this spread affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 48 g of sugars per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while its very low salt (0.015 g) has minimal impact on hypertension but the sugar load can still influence overall metabolic health.

Is Strawberry Fruit Spread suitable for strict diets such as Vegan, Keto, Halal, or Gluten‑Free?

The spread is vegan and certified gluten‑free, and contains no animal-derived ingredients, so it fits halal guidelines, but its high carbohydrate and sugar content makes it incompatible with a keto diet.
