Why is the compote classified as NOVA 1 and what additives does it contain?

The product is made mainly from pureed fruits with no industrial refinement, which places it in NOVA group 1 for minimally processed foods; it includes two listed additives – ascorbic acid (E300) as an antioxidant and citric acid (E330) as an acidifier.

How does the 10 g of sugar per 100 g in this compote affect a diabetic or low‑sugar diet?

At 10 g of sugar per 100 g the compote is lower in sugar than many fruit desserts, but it still contributes measurable carbs, so people managing diabetes or a low‑sugar diet should count it as part of their daily allowance.

Is this no‑added‑sugar compote suitable for a vegan diet?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based (apple, strawberry, pear, banana purees, carrot juice, vitamin C and citric acid); although some components are marked “maybe” for vegan status, the formulation contains no animal‑derived items and is generally considered vegan‑compatible.
