Why is Confiture mirabelle classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additive does it contain?

The jam is classified as NOVA 4 because it contains added sugars, a concentrated lemon juice concentrate and a gelling agent, pectin, which is listed as additive E440; these industrially processed ingredients place it in the ultra‑processed category.

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

With 56 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic meal plans, while its low salt (0.02 g) does not add to hypertension risk, but the overall high carbohydrate load still limits its use in strict blood‑pressure management diets.

Is this mirabelle jam suitable for vegan, gluten‑free and other strict diets?

All ingredients, mirabelle plums, sugar, lemon‑juice concentrate and pectin, are plant‑based and contain no gluten, so the jam is vegan‑friendly and gluten‑free, though its high sugar content means it is not appropriate for low‑carb or keto diets.
