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

It is made from mineral water plus added sugar, fruit-juice concentrate, citric acid, vitamin C and a natural flavour; the presence of added sugar, citric acid (E330) and vitamin C (E300) as additives places it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar content in Juicy Citronnade affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The drink contains about 4.9 g of sugar per 100 ml, which can raise blood glucose levels and should be limited by people with diabetes, while its very low salt (0.01 g per 100 ml) poses minimal concern for hypertension, though total sugar intake remains the main issue.

Is Juicy Citronnade suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten-free diets?

The product contains no animal-derived ingredients and no gluten, making it vegan and gluten-free, but the added sugar gives it around 5 g of carbs per 100 ml, so it is not compatible with strict keto diets.
