Why is Cocktail 4 fruits classified as a processed (NOVA 3) product and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from whole fruits that are peeled, cut and packed with water, sugar and citric acid; the addition of refined sugar and the acidifier E330 (citric acid) place it in the NOVA 3 category, indicating a processed rather than minimally processed food.

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

With 12.5 g of sugars per 100 g, the cocktail delivers a moderate amount of carbohydrate that can raise blood glucose levels, so people with diabetes should consume it sparingly, while its very low salt (0.01 g) makes it acceptable for hypertension but the sugar still warrants caution.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like Vegan, Keto, Halal, or Gluten‑Free?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, so the product is vegan, gluten‑free and complies with Halal standards; however, the added sugar prevents it from fitting a Keto regimen, which requires very low carbohydrate intake.
