Why is Confiture allégée d'abricot 30 % de sucres en moins classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra‑processed because the formulation includes added sugar, a fruit‑derived pectin gelling agent (E440) and citric acid (E330) as stabilisers, as well as other processing steps that transform whole apricots into a spread; these ingredients place it in NOVA group 4.

How does the sugar content in this reduced‑sugar apricot jam affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 40 g of sugars per 100 g, the jam provides a high carbohydrate load that can cause rapid blood‑glucose rises, so people with diabetes should limit portions; the salt level is only 0.03 g, which is negligible for hypertension but does not offset the sugar impact.

Based on the ingredients, is this jam suitable for strict diets like vegan, keto or gluten‑free?

All listed components, apricots, sugar, fruit pectin and citric acid, are plant‑derived, making the product vegan and gluten‑free, but the high sugar (40 g) and carbohydrate content make it unsuitable for a keto regimen.
