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

The jam is deemed ultra‑processed because it includes refined sugar, concentrated lemon juice, pectin (E440) as a gelling agent, and stevia‑derived glucoside (E960a) as a sweetener, all of which are industrial ingredients added to the fruit base.

How does the sugar and salt content in this jam affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 20 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its very low salt (0.01 g) poses minimal concern for hypertension but does not offset the impact of the high sugar.

Is this jam suitable for strict diets such as vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free?

All ingredients are plant‑derived, so the jam is vegan, halal (no animal‑derived alcohol or gelatin), and gluten‑free, but its high carbohydrate content (20 g of sugars per 100 g) makes it incompatible with a keto diet.
