Why is the Gourdes compote allégées classified as processed (NOVA 3) and which additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 indicates a manufactured product that contains added ingredients but no extensive industrial techniques; this compote includes added sugar and the antioxidant E300 (ascorbic acid) to preserve colour and freshness.

How does the sugar content of this product affect a diabetic diet?

With 16 g of sugars per 100 g, the compote contributes a noticeable carbohydrate load, so people with diabetes should count it toward their daily sugar allowance and consume it in moderation.

Is strawberry in this product a concern for people with strawberry allergies?

One of the three variants contains strawberry, so individuals allergic to strawberry should avoid that specific jar to prevent an allergic reaction.
