Why does this Demerara brown sugar receive a Nutri‑Score of E, and which nutrients are responsible?

The Nutri‑Score is driven by the product’s very high sugar level (99.3 g per 100 g) and its energy content (399 kcal per 100 g); these factors generate the maximum negative points, while the lack of positive contributors such as protein, fiber or fruit/vegetable content prevents any offset, resulting in a grade of E.

How does the high sugar content of this Demerara brown sugar affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With almost 100 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it inappropriate for people managing diabetes, and although its salt is low, the excess calories can contribute to weight gain, indirectly influencing blood‑pressure control for hypertensive individuals.

Is this product suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

The sugar is 100 % pure cane, contains no animal ingredients and therefore fits vegan and gluten‑free diets, but its high carbohydrate and sugar load makes it incompatible with keto or other low‑carb nutritional plans.
