Why is Marmelade Aprikose classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The jam is made from apricots, added white and brown cane sugars, concentrated lemon juice and a pectin gelling agent; the only listed additive is E‑440 (pectin), and the combination of multiple refined sugars and processed ingredients places it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

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

With 59 g of sugars per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for tight glycemic control, while its negligible salt does not impact blood pressure but the sugar load can indirectly worsen hypertension through weight gain.

Is Marmelade Aprikose suitable for vegan, keto or gluten‑free diets?

The product contains only plant‑derived ingredients and is free from animal fats, gelatin and gluten, so it is vegan‑friendly and gluten‑free; however, its very high carbohydrate and sugar content makes it incompatible with a ketogenic diet.
