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

It is made with refined sugar, pectin used as a gelling agent (additive E440), and concentrated lemon juice, and it undergoes industrial cooking and processing, which places it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the 40 g of sugar per 100 g in this apricot jam affect a diabetic or low-sugar diet?

The high sugar content can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes, making the jam unsuitable for strict diabetic or low-sugar diets unless consumed in very small portions.

Is Confiture abricots suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten-free diets?

All ingredients are plant-based and contain no animal products or gluten, so the jam is vegan, halal and gluten-free, but its high carbohydrate and sugar levels make it incompatible with a keto diet.
