Why is Miel d'Acacia et Gelée Royale classified as a moderately processed food (NOVA 3) and which nutrients drive its Nutri‑Score E?

The product receives a NOVA 3 rating because it is made from natural honey and royal jelly with minimal industrial processing, but no added additives; its Nutri‑Score E is mainly due to the very high sugar content (72 g per 100 g) which outweighs the low fat and salt values.

How does the high sugar content of this honey‑royal jelly spread affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 72 g of sugars per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, while the absence of salt means it does not directly raise blood pressure, though excess sugar can indirectly affect cardiovascular health.

Is royal jelly in this product a concern for individuals allergic to bee products?

Yes, royal jelly is a bee‑derived ingredient and can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to bee products; anyone with known honey or bee‑product allergies should avoid this spread.
