Why is Salades de fruits rouges et pêches blanches classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The mix includes a prepared hibiscus‑mint sauce and added sugar, which are manufacturing steps that place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; however, no specific additives are listed on the label.

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

With 6.2 g of sugars per 100 g, the product provides a moderate carbohydrate load that diabetics must count toward their daily allowance, but its zero salt makes it safe for hypertensive individuals.

Product Insights

Picard’s 750 g package of Red Fruit Salad with White Peach is a frozen mix of white peach, strawberry, blueberry and a hibiscus‑mint sauce. It belongs to the Fruits group of the French PNNS classification, carries a Nutri‑Score of B and is classified as an ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) product, offering low fat (0.5 g), low saturated fat (0.1 g) and no salt, while providing 39 kcal, 6.2 g of sugars and 1.8 g of fiber per 100 g. The modest sugar level and high fruit content are positive, but the added sauce and processing keep it from being a whole‑food product and its fiber and protein remain below those of fresh fruit.
