Why is Black and Sour Cherry Spread classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The spread is labeled NOVA 4 because it combines whole fruit with industrial processing steps such as concentration of lemon juice, addition of soluble fiber and the use of a gelling agent; the only listed additive is pectin (E440), a plant-derived polysaccharide used to thicken the product.

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

With 33.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread provides a substantial amount of carbohydrate that can raise blood glucose levels, so it should be used sparingly by people with diabetes, while its very low salt (0.01 g) is not a concern for hypertension.

Is this cherry spread suitable for a vegan or keto diet?

All ingredients are plant-based, making the product fully vegan, but its high sugar content makes it unsuitable for strict keto or low-carb diets, which require minimal carbohydrate intake.
