Why is Nectar orange-peach-apricot classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

It is made from orange concentrate, fruit purees, water and added cane sugar, which places it in the processed (NOVA 3) group. The only listed additives are vitamin C (ascorbic acid, E300) used as an antioxidant and citric acid (E330) used as an acidifier.

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

With 9.8 g of sugars per 100 ml, the drink provides a moderate amount of quickly absorbable carbohydrates; people managing diabetes should count it toward daily sugar limits, and although its salt is low (0.03 g), the overall sugar load means it should be enjoyed sparingly.

Is the orange concentrate in this nectar a concern for consumers with citrus allergies?

The product lists orange concentrate as a primary ingredient; individuals allergic to citrus should avoid it, as even processed concentrates can trigger allergic reactions.
