Why is MARMELADE d'oranges ALLEGEE 35% fruits classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

NOVA 4 includes foods that have undergone several industrial steps and contain added sugars or other additives. This marmalade lists added sugar, pectin (a gelling agent labeled E440) and citric acid as ingredients, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed spreads.

How does the high sugar content of this orange marmalade affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 40 g of sugar per 100 g, the marmalade can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so diabetics should consume it only in very small portions. Although its salt is low, the high sugar still makes it unsuitable as a regular sweetener for those managing blood‑sugar or weight concerns.

Is this reduced‑sugar orange marmalade suitable for a vegan diet?

All listed ingredients, sugar, oranges, water, pectin and citric acid, are plant‑derived, so the product is technically vegan. However, sugar can sometimes be refined with bone char, so unless the manufacturer confirms a vegan‑friendly refining process, the vegan status remains uncertain.
