Why is Confiture extra abricot classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The jam receives a NOVA 4 rating because it contains added sugar, a food‑acid (citric acid) and a gelling agent (pectin), all of which are industrial ingredients that transform the original fruit into a shelf‑stable product.

How does the sugar content in this jam affect a diabetic diet?

With 59 g of sugars per 100 g, the jam delivers a rapid rise in blood glucose and is therefore unsuitable for people managing diabetes or trying to limit simple carbohydrate intake.

Is the apricot in this jam a potential allergen for some consumers?

Apricot belongs to the stone‑fruit family, and individuals allergic to stone fruits may experience reactions such as oral itching or swelling when consuming the jam.
