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

It is labeled NOVA 4 because its ingredient list is dominated by refined sugar, concentrated fruit juice, flavorings and commercial additives; the only listed additives are caramel colour (E150b) used for its red hue and sodium benzoate (E211) as a preservative, plus a vanilla extract flavour.

How does the high sugar and modest salt content of this syrup affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 79 g of sugar per 100 ml can cause a rapid spike in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for diabetic meal plans, and although the salt is low, the overall caloric load may contribute to weight gain, which can worsen hypertension.

Is Sirop de Grenadine compatible with strict diets such as vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free?

The product contains only plant‑derived ingredients and no animal‑origin components, so it fits vegan and gluten‑free criteria, but its very high carbohydrate and sugar content makes it incompatible with keto or low‑carb regimens, and the presence of the preservative E211 does not conflict with halal standards.
