Why is CONFITURE EXTRA 4 fruits rouges classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is classified as NOVA 4 because it includes refined sugar, added unrefined cane sugar, and functional additives that are not naturally present in fresh fruit; the listed additives are citric acid (E330) used as an acidifier and pectin (E440) used as a gelling agent.

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

With 59 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, and while its salt is low, the high sugar can contribute to metabolic risk factors relevant to hypertension.

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

All ingredients are plant‑derived, so the jam is vegan and contains no wheat or gluten, making it gluten‑free; however, its very high carbohydrate and sugar content means it does not fit a keto diet.
