Why is this reduced-sugar strawberry jam classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The jam is labeled NOVA 4 because it combines whole strawberries with added refined sugar, water, concentrated lemon juice and the food additive pectin (E440) to achieve its texture and shelf stability, which are characteristics of ultra-processed foods.

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

With 39g of sugar per 100g, the jam delivers a high carbohydrate load that can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its very low salt (0.01g) is harmless for hypertension but does not offset the sugar concern.

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

The ingredients (strawberries, sugar, water, lemon juice and pectin) are plant‑based, so the jam is generally vegan, halal and gluten‑free, but it is high in sugars and carbs, making it unsuitable for a keto diet.

Product Insights

This reduced-sugar strawberry jam in a 335g pot is a plant-based sweet spread classified under the Sugary snacks and Sweets PNNS groups. It carries a Nutri-Score of D and belongs to NOVA group 4, reflecting its ultra-processed nature due to added sugar (about 39g per 100g) and the food additive pectin (E440). While the jam provides relatively low energy (approximately 168 kcal per 100g), negligible fat and salt, and a favorable EcoScore B thanks to its glass jar packaging, its high sugar content and additive presence limit its healthfulness.
