Why is Volvic Zest Peach Flavor classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is deemed ultra-processed because the natural mineral water is combined with added sugar, natural peach and lemon flavourings, and an acidifier; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330) used as an acidifier, together with the natural flavourings and sugar.

How does the sugar content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 1.4 g of added sugars per 100 ml (about 14 g per litre), the drink adds a modest amount of sugar that can raise blood‑glucose levels, so diabetics should limit intake; the very low salt (0.01 g per 100 ml) poses minimal risk for hypertension.

Is Volvic Zest suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten-free diets?

All ingredients – water, sugar, natural peach and lemon flavourings, and citric acid – are plant‑derived and contain no animal products, making the drink vegan, halal‑compatible and gluten‑free, but the sugar content means it does not fit a strict keto regimen.
