Why is Confiture de fraise classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined sugar, strawberry puree, citric acid (E330) as an acidifier, and pectin (E440) as a gelling agent; the use of these highly refined ingredients and extensive processing places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With 60 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while its very low salt level does not significantly affect blood pressure, the sugar alone still raises cardiovascular risk.

Is this jam suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

All listed ingredients are plant‑derived, so the product is vegan and gluten‑free, but its very high carbohydrate and sugar content makes it incompatible with a strict keto regimen.
