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

The drink includes refined components such as concentrated lemon juice, added sugar, natural lemon flavourings and the antioxidant vitamin C (identified as additive E300), which together meet the criteria for the ultra-processed NOVA 4 group.

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

With 4.7 g of sugar per 100 g, the beverage provides moderate sugar that can raise blood glucose levels, so people with diabetes should limit portion size, while its lack of salt means it does not contribute to hypertension concerns.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free?

All ingredients are plant-based and contain no animal derivatives or gluten, making it suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets, but the added sugar prevents it from being keto-friendly, and it is generally considered halal as long as the sugar source is permissible.
