Why is Sirop de Citron vert classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Because it is made from refined sugar, glucose‑fructose syrup, concentrated lime juice, flavorings, citric acid (E330) and a pectin stabiliser (E445). These industrial ingredients and the extensive processing steps place the product in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

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

The syrup contains about 46 g of sugar per 100 ml, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and is unsuitable for diabetic management. While its salt is low, the excessive sugar can still contribute to overall metabolic stress, making it a poor choice for those watching blood pressure or blood sugar.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based and contain no gluten, so the syrup can be considered gluten‑free and potentially vegan, although the source of the sugar is not specified and may involve animal processing. Its very high carbohydrate content makes it unsuitable for ketogenic diets.

Moulin de Valdonne's Sirop de Citron vert is a 70 cl glass bottle of lime-flavoured syrup marketed as a sweetened beverage.
