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

The jam is deemed ultra‑processed because it includes added cane sugar and a commercial pectin thickener (E440), both of which are manufactured ingredients added during production rather than being present in whole fruit.

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

With 60 g of sugars per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while its low salt level (0.07 g) does not pose a significant risk for hypertension.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like Vegan, Keto, Halal, or Gluten‑Free?

The jam contains only plant‑derived components, strawberries, cane sugar, and pectin, so it is gluten‑free and generally compatible with vegan and Halal diets, but its very high sugar load means it does not fit Keto guidelines.
