Why is Cocktail - Avec Jus Naturel classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines multiple fruit pieces, added sugar, water and a citric‑acid acidifier, which are processed ingredients, and it lists the additive E330 (citric acid) on the label; such formulation and the presence of added sugar place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With 12 g of sugars per 100 g, the cocktail provides a relatively high amount of simple sugars that can raise blood glucose levels in diabetics, while its zero‑salt content means it does not add to sodium intake for hypertension, but the overall sugar load should still be considered.

Is this fruit cocktail suitable for a vegan or plant‑based diet?

All listed ingredients, peaches, pears, pineapple, grapes, water, sugar, citric acid and natural flavouring, are plant‑derived, and the product bears no animal‑based additives, making it compatible with vegan and plant‑based dietary preferences.

This product is a canned fruit cocktail with natural juice, produced in France by Saint Mamet, containing peaches, pears, pineapple, grapes, water, sugar and a small amount of citric acid and natural flavouring.
