Why is Mirabelle cuite au chaudron classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it undergoes multiple processing steps, includes added sugar as a sweetener, and uses the food‑grade additive pectin (E440) as a gelling agent, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed jams.

How does the sugar content of this jam affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 43 g of sugar per 100 g, the jam can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and should be limited or avoided by people with diabetes, while its very low salt (0.05 g) poses minimal concern for hypertension but the high carbohydrate load remains unsuitable for strict low‑sugar diets.

Is Mirabelle cuite au chaudron suitable for strict diets such as vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free?

The spread is vegan, gluten‑free and halal because it contains only fruit, sugar, lemon juice and pectin, but it is not keto‑friendly due to its high carbohydrate (43 g sugar) content.
