Why is Abricots moelleux placed in NOVA group 3 and which additives does it contain?

NOVA group 3 indicates a processed food that retains the original fruit but undergoes drying and the addition of preservatives; the label lists sulfur dioxide (E220) and potassium sorbate (E202) as the only added additives.

How do the sugar and salt levels in Abricots moelleux affect diets for people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 28 g of sugar per 100 g and no added salt, the product supplies a substantial carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose and should be consumed in controlled portions by diabetics, while the lack of salt makes it safe for hypertension but the high sugar remains the main concern.

Can Abricots moelleux be considered suitable for vegan, gluten‑free and keto diets?

The ingredients are solely dried apricots and plant‑based preservatives, so the product is vegan and gluten‑free, but its high carbohydrate (34 g) and sugar (28 g) content make it unsuitable for strict keto or low‑carb regimens.
