Why is Confiture allégée cassis classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Jam is considered ultra‑processed because it combines fruit puree with added sugars, pectin, acids and often preservatives such as potassium sorbate or citric acid to achieve a stable texture and long shelf‑life. These industrial ingredients, together with the high‑intensity sweetening, place the product in NOVA group 4.

How does the sugar content in this reduced‑sugar blackcurrant jam affect a diabetic diet?

With 36.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose. Diabetics should limit portions, count the carbs as part of their total daily intake, and consider pairing the jam with protein or fat to slow absorption.

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

The product contains only plant‑derived ingredients, blackcurrant fruit, sugar, pectin and acids, so it is both vegan and gluten‑free, making it compatible with those dietary restrictions.
